“Rikke is the next big discovery from Norway!” Yagaloo
“Playful, happy, invigorating pop music with that certain something” Soundmag
A household name in Norway through her appearance on reality show Hver gang vi møtes, performance with John Legend at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert & working with multi-million streaming artists like Madcon & Emma Steinbakken, Norwegian alt-pop artist Rikke releases High Horse – a song about relationship boundaries & the first single from her upcoming album Not Even Air Can Come Between Us Now.
With its upbeat, funk-soul groove, this infectious slice of alt-pop is sure to lift the spirit of many a listener. However, the lyric paints a very different picture as it tells a tale of getting entangled by the disrespectful behaviour of so-called friends & their disregard for others.
Standing up to such energy-draining interactions is something close to Rikke’s heart as she longs to build more balanced relationships in her life. Writing High Horse has helped in that process – like a sort of emotional release as Rikke explains: “Breaking up with friends when there’s an unhealthy dynamic can seem to many as a bit taboo still. For some reason we’re only allowed to break up romantic relationships! Whereas, if it’s platonic & for some reason you’re no longer compatible, the other party can seem shocked when you cut them out of your life, even after explaining why!”.
