We’re always amazed at just how brilliant Scandinavians are at producing catchy pop bop and our wonderment has been ignited once again thanks to rising Norwegian artist Hanne Leland. Her new single ‘Nothing At All’ showcases a polished yet understated production that delicately wraps around Hanne’s floating vocals which brood over the quiet intimacies of real love. Although there’s an emotional vulnerability to this track, it’s not weighed down, rather it’s a sound that radiates with a soft warmth. It’s a beautiful example that music doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful.

Following on from Hanne’s summer anthem ‘Love I’m Looking For’, this new single embraces a simpler side of this artist’s songwriting. The melodies drift effortlessly, wrapping the track in a cozy, timeless glow, while subtle pop flourishes keep it contemporary and radio-ready. This restrained affair allows the lyrical honesty and emotional clarity to sit front-and-centre, while the laid-back production acts as an open door to listeners who will no doubt feel compelled to lean closer in to Hanne’s elegant performance. In the end, ‘Love I’m Looking For’ reminds us that it’s not about the grand gestures or the performative acts of love – it’s about the small rituals that make love feel complete.
