Hedda Mae – Sitting Down Here (De Neste)

Emerging future pop star Hedda Mae hasnโ€™t really broken out of her home country Norway yet, but youโ€™d better keep an eye on her. She and her co-writer and producer Benjamin Giรธrtzย (Tiรซsto, Betty Who) are a great tandem. He creates songs with a nu-disco flavour, while her youthful performance makes them sound extra fresh.

The singer, whose real name is Hedda Aalvik Grรธnhaug, will put out her second EP of original material later this year. First single Take It Or Leave It was released earlier this year. As a side project, Hedda Mae contributed to Norwegian TV show De Neste (โ€˜the nextโ€™). For the programme, she recorded two covers of Norwegian classics: Jaa9 & OnklePโ€™s Glir Forbi, and Lene Marlinโ€™s finest moment Sitting Down Here. The latter was a pan-European hit in 1999.

On behalf of the TV show, Giรธrtzย produced and arranged a modern version, full of his trademark โ€˜80s influences. It goes down very well with the original composition and could make the song a hit all over again. I think the current generation will love this Kylie Minogue-like take on Sitting Down Here.
