5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, 27 Aug 2005
By Rex Hyman (Southampton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderful album. At first I thought the 'Norwegian Joni Mitchell' tag was over the top, but after a few listens I'm beginning to think this is spot on. There are other influences of course: at times she sounds how Bjork might have sounded if she'd gone towards jazz rather than electronica, and she can also sound like a less ambient version of Mum. On tracks such as Little Girl and Ease, the spirit of David Bowie during his Anthony Newley period creeps in, but this is no bad thing as the more playful tracks are balanced by beautiful songs like Searching, True Love and Displaced, in fact her voice reminds me of a more gentle Billie Holliday. The programming perfectly complements the use of such instruments as tuba, saxophone, clarinet, vibraphone and banjo, and the mood is enhanced by touches such as the softly running water in the background of Cast Anchor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be Grateful for the Little Things, 23 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This is far and away the most refreshing sound(s) I have heard since early Everything But the Girl and Robert Wyatt came to my attention. Hanne Hukkelberg from the fertile Oslo music scene offers 13 songs which are indeed Little Things in their sound, scope and titles. Little gems like Do Not As I Do, Cast Anchor and Ease offer an easy intimacy both with the subject of the songs and with the listener. Most selections have minimal backing-a tuba and pots and pans on one; running water, lap steel and clarinet on another. This brings her voice which reminds one of Billie Holliday only in vulnerabilty, into sharp relief and allows the lyrics to float along just above the backing. There is a little girl quality to her voice which adds an intimacy and immediateness and makes these songs totally her own. Songs are sequenced thoughtfully and a nod must be given to the use of cardboard in the packaging avoiding the dreaded plastic unjewel case. Si Scott decorated the outside of the folding case with an easy to recognize style of ink lines and swirls and inside is one photo of the artist herself looking out from a furry-hooded parka in an inviting half-smile. Wire Magazine placed one selection-Ease- as the #1 song on its Wire Trapper compilation a few issues back. Have I convinced you to take a chance on Little Things? You'll thank me for being so inspired that I wrote my first ever customer review. Hanne Hukkelberg may do the same for you.
