Behind the Music: Interview with Lena Anderssen

‘Over the years, I’ve learnt to not dismiss a musical idea right away. Try stuff, sometimes the best one is right next to the bad one!’

‘I’m inspired by people, life, and positivity, so it’s been hard to write songs this year, but releasing ‘Notes to Self’ has kept me going.’

‘Before creating the album we researched female and gender minority artists – we wanted as diverse a group as possible to be involved.’

‘As long as our music is honest, constant exploration and change may always be a big part of our journey.’

‘I’m always going back to the narrative of a song, asking myself how every element or production choice best tells the story.’

‘Young women in the industry have to be so careful – it’s way too easy to fall into a trap and give up your power.’

‘I want to transport the listener and encourage them to not run away from difficult emotions.’

‘We really want our tracks to sound expensive, but there’s nothing expensive about how they are made.’

‘I love trying to be inventive – there’s so much cliché in the music we hear on radio today.’

‘Trusting the people I work with is integral to the writing process.’

‘I’m really proud of how much my sound has developed over time.’

‘I’m now approaching music with different motivations and aspirations – it feels a lot more fun and free.’
