The power of Norwegian jazz embodied by singer Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen and pianist Anders Aarum reveals the very essence of their work—at once precise and dark, like a Scandinavian thriller.
In its review of their album Movies & Stories Like This, Couleursjazz.fr noted: "This 12th album by Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen, since 2004, undoubtedly marks a stage of maturity. It reflects that touching fragility, carried by a remarkably accurate and finely grained voice. The poetic lyrics are in the great tradition of Scandinavian and European singing, with a glamorous touch reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe (...). Anders Aarum's piano accompaniment is simply perfect. The palpable complicity between the two artists creates a delightful album, which is a pleasure to listen to again and again."
