Fresh Squeezed: Sissy Wish

What may be fresh to us in the states, when it comes to the latest member of the Afternoon Records family Sissy Wish, has actually been dancing around Norway for the last six years. Her latest album, Beauties Never Die, was released in Norway in 2007, but will serve as her first release here in the US. Sissy Wish could be ranked among the dance-pop diva, but her melodies are more thought out than those of an Amy Winehouse or even Lilly Allen. Its a mixture of her tight compositions and a creative use of live instrumentation that really solidify her sound. Beauties Never Die is actually her third release, but it has been the most highly regarded despite winning the Norwegian Grammy (Spellemannsprisen) as the ”best female artist” in 2005. What is remarkable is that she was able to accomplish so much while remaining an independent.

Beauties Never Die will be released by Afternoon Records digitally on May 19th and we can finally order physical copies on June 16th.
