Tangerine is the latest single from Norwegian singer-songwriter, Siv Jakobsen. Much like the fruit, it is a sweet and succulent treat. The lyrical approach is both intriguing and charming, with the delicate instrumentation framing the track's intimacy.
What's the song about? As Jakobsen explains "I imagined someone who was held against their own will inside a run of the mill suburban house, looking out from the front room and willing for someone to come let them out. This someone is mentally stuck, a deer in headlights, scared and frozen. Not wanting to stay but unable to leave - worthless in another's world, like a carefully peeled, squashed and tossed tangerine."
The single is a small taste and what we can expect from her third album 'Gardening' - scheduled for release on 20th January 2023 via The Nordic Mellow.
