Frøya is a Norwegian country music singer who broke through to mainstream success in 2009 with her second album, Jenta Fra Landet. Born Frøydis Skinnarland, she resides on a farm in the Norwegian countryside and cites musical influences that include American country singers such as <a href="spotify:artist:32vWCbZh0xZ4o9gkz4PsEU">Dolly Parton</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5e4Dhzv426EvQe3aDb64jL">Shania Twain</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3P33qFNGBVXl86yQYWspFj">Martina McBride</a> as well as Norwegians such as Carola, <a href="spotify:artist:0tQjkmRcDxYyexoDzTMzdX">Anne Nørdsti</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0ntVZReCfBFQctUiiaTaeu">Lasse Stefanz</a>. In 2007 Frøya made her full-length album debut with Summersun on the label Piraya Music. Billed to Frøydis Skinnarland, the English-language album spawned a minor hit with "Dance Tonight," for which a video was filmed. Upon signing to the Warner Music Group affiliate label Mariann in the wake of "Dance Tonight," she simplified her name to Frøya and made her major-label album debut with Jenta Fra Landet (2009). A Top Ten hit on the Norwegian albums chart, Jenta Fra Landet spawned a series of singles including "Sorgfulle Barn" as well as the title track, a Norwegian-language cover version of <a href="spotify:artist:0IdYRFTswLdsGwSnzOaGNF">Gretchen Wilson</a>'s 2004 American country anthem "Redneck Woman." ~ Jason Birchmeier
