the making of you are
YOU ARE is a collection of robust and melodic tunes, a musical melting pot featuring elements of uptempo pop, rock, prog, a dash of folk/country, a skank of ska, and a sprinkle of dreamy/jazzy vibes. Composed and produced by Tonje Ettesvoll in both Norway and California, the album boasts collaborations with world-class musicians, including the phenomenal Marco Minnemann on drums and the enchanting Sidsel Walstad on harp.
Tonje Ettesvoll reflects on the album's journey, "This project was a labor of love, inspired by a 'go big or go home' attitude that somehow also led me back home. Who says you can't do both?”
