Terrific interview

I stumbled across Kira Skov thanks to a music review in Politiken. That led me to her iTunes portfolio which is both unique and haunting, and by the way expansive in many senses. From there I wandered into the November 2020 Nordic Portraits podcast interview with her. It is a brilliant interview from perspectives of both the interviewed and the interviewer. An incredible artist’s life story is drawn out with disarmingly casual ease by an equally talented interviewer. It was my lucky night: I gained a nice collection of new to me songs, and “discovered” a musical talent and a podcast that each are well worth following!
