Solveig Leithaug is yet another one of those huge artists that I had never heard of. She even has a Dove award. It’s like I know nothing about this industry at all at times. Anyway Solveig was a Norwegian artist that did well in the U.S. market eventually moving to Nashville in fact. This is her 3rd album and it was released in both English and Norwegian. The English version was titled First Step but The Norwegian album was actually translated as Light In The Window. I believe the Norwegian album had to be renamed to a different track because the title track was for some reason released in English for the Norwegian album, not Norwegian. As such they couldn’t really use the same name. Anyway let’s talk about the album. It’s a solid easy listening pop album and well above average. I actually quite enjoyed it though it’s not my preferred genre.
