GURLS! GURLS are not afraid of being straightforward when they present their self-ironic songs on topics such as background singers, pork chop lovers, good-looking boy yodellers, or being single and desperate. Here three of Norway’s busiest musicians get together in what they themselves have called a musical breather, and the result will make you want to laugh, sway your hips and maybe even blush a bit. Since the beginning in Trondheim in 2013, singer Emilie Nicolas has been replaced with Rohey Taalah who has really taken Norway by storm the last year, with her own band Rohey. Saxophonist and songwriter Hanna Paulsberg (Hanna Paulsberg Concept, TJO & Chick Corea) and bassist Ellen Andrea Wang (Pixel, Manu Katché, Sting) make up the rest of this bright young trio. ‘If one were to use the concept of a ‘supergroup’ about anybody in the Norwegian jazz scene, Gurls would be an obvious candidate for that label.
