Somewhere at the intersection of indie, folk, and soul, you’ll find Beharie. His voice is rich, powerful, and raw in its delivery – qualities that complement his increasingly personal songwriting, reaching new heights on his second album, When The Silence Gets Too Loud.

The first single from the album, “Everybody Tells Me To Let Go”, is a song about suppression, about not being able to be oneself, and about being told a truth one does not fit into. The song carries a nerve that, despite its theme, remains hopeful through its instrumental energy and message.

Balancing playfulness and seriousness is a common thread in Beharie’s music. His lyrics are vulnerable and honest, as if written in a state of deep reflection. He allows the listener to come close, drawing inspiration from lived experiences, conveyed with an immediacy that creates the feeling of being invited into an intimate space – an experience that extends to his live performances.

Although the musician from Sandnes draws inspiration from established artists within soul, R&B, and folk, he has crafted a sound that is distinctly Beharie:

“At its best, Beharie’s music allows the listener to disappear, as if diving underwater with no end in sight. He masters both the grand and the subtle, and while he has been compared to icons like Frank Ocean, Beharie is, above all, Beharie. One of the best artists Norway has to offer today.”
