It’s hard to explain why, but throughout these 23 years of promoting independent artists, we’ve always had a soft spot for Scandinavian artists. Oh yes, Sweden, Norway, and Finland have spoiled us for years. More recently, it’s Germany that’s bringing us an abundance of new talent.

But if we’d been told that it was in between (right in Denmark) where we’d find one of the most beautiful voices and souls of the indie scene in Sophia, singer-songwriter and frontwoman of the band NOHRLAND, we might have been surprised. Yet, these Danes truly have some incredible stories to tell, with melodies that could make most American artists green with envy.

Indeed, the single Help Me Get Over You has undeniable folk and Americana vibes, and it’s certainly not traditional Danish music. But the finesse with which Sophia conveys emotions, both through her enchanting vocals and her detailed, immersive lyrics, is absolutely astonishing. With every new song, and especially with this one, we dive deeper into her thoughts and feel her pain.

Yes, it’s needless to say that this is another song about moving on after a breakup: you probably guessed that from the title. But have we ever heard someone so openly plead for help from the other person to get over it? It’s definitely an original perspective that NOHRLAND brings to the table.

We first discovered the band in January 2023 with the aptly named single Tide, which swept a refreshing wave over Indie Music Center. Almost two years later, NOHRLAND continues to make us dream, with this warm, comforting single that will also help you if you’re going through a rough time after the end of a relationship. After all, isn’t a good song one that you can relate to? So, if you like it, share the song and help spread the word about this band, which truly deserves much more recognition.

NOHRLAND’s take on “Help me get over you”

These lyrics speak to anyone who has ever faced the tough decision to walk away from something that once meant everything. For me, it is actually a job situation- something I thought was my dream job in my everyday life, but it nearly broke me down instead, and I had to let it go, though I was so scared of what was to come afterward. Can I find anything that means that much to me? At the same time I felt foolish not seeing that I made it a dream job only in my fantasy and in real life it was definitely not working at all. But I need help to move on because the heartbreak is really devastating. The song is written by Jan Kølle from NOHRLAND (the dobro) and the country folk singer from Denmark Rebekka Thornbech. I produced the song myself and made it blend into my sentimental vibe – from where I find my comfort zone. it’s sad I know! But I like to dwell on things, and that can be heard in my vocals.
