There’s a puri­ty and sim­plic­i­ty to the delight­ful track Ever­green In Your Mind, just released as a taster from the upcom­ing album of the same name by Nor­we­gian singer-songr­writer Juni Habel. The album will be released on April 10th on Basin Rock and Koke Plate. It’s a song that man­ages to lift you and project a promise of bet­ter times just round the cor­ner. A song to offer com­fort and warmth.

Against a flu­id and gen­tly plucked gui­tar, the del­i­cate folk song empha­sis­es Juni’s crys­talline vocals. Ever­green In Your Mind finds the singer out in the woods, hid­ing from real life, caught in the space between the nat­ur­al world and the pull of moder­ni­ty. Says Juni: “It’s nos­tal­gic. It’s about look­ing back and real­is­ing things will be different”. 

Juni took her time to shape the album, which was pro­duced by Nor­we­gian pro­duc­er-musi­cian Stian Skaaden. She spent time in nature, hik­ing and lis­ten­ing to music, immers­ing her­self in her sur­round­ings in order to nur­ture cre­ativ­i­ty for the album.

The album cov­er for Ever­green In Your Mind is breath­tak­ing – a strik­ing pho­to­graph of Juni set against the moun­tains of Ron­dane, a five-hour dri­ve each way from her home. Juni elab­o­rates on the ‘pho­to­shoot’. “It was awe-inspir­ing to dri­ve all the way up into the high moun­tains, with its wide plains and intense colours. For an album with music that at times likes to hide itself, I think it fit­ted nice­ly with such an epic, grand, and pow­er­ful landscape.”
