Our love for Anna of the North seemed to burn brighter as each day passed without hearing new music. The Norwegian singer has been silent for all of 2015, until now. 'The Dreamer' follows her brace of excellent full, non-demo singles 'Oslo' and 'Sway' in spanning the very best bits of Scandinavian pop: shimmering drum patterns, crisply delivered verses packed with emotion, pirouetting layered synths and a resounding chorus in which Anna sweetly scolds, "It's not about you anymore." With Lykke Li currently off the grid following I Never Learn, the next few months in Scandipop are going to be all about Anna of the North. - DC
