KATE HAVNEVIK RINGTONES!!!Table, Td table table table table table table table table table table table, table table table td body, div, p, strong, td, ."Melankton takes your breath away..."Kate Havnevik will prove that she has staying power here in the States with Melankton.Kate Havnevik has a unique voice, which explores both the very deep and high reaches of her extraordinary vocal range.Her music is melodic, occasionally dramatic, but always very cool.With a touch of programming mixed with conventionally recorded instruments she creates the perfect soundscape to dress her songs and voice.Kate Havnevik is a Norwegian singer and songwriter from Oslo.Melankton, was released in March 2006 on iTunes and April 2006 (on physical CD) in Norway, before being licensed internationally later in the year.Kate is releasing her albums through her own record label, Continentica Records, which she runs with her husband.Growing Up
Kate can play the piano, the guitar, and the melodica amongst other instruments, and wanted to be a classical and jazz musician, up until the age of 14, when she joined an all female punk rock band rehearsing and playing at Oslo's illegally occupied club, Blitz.The experience changed her musical horizons, and led her to pursue an interest in classical music mixed with modern electronica.Her father (who is English) and mother are also both classically trained musicians, who play the flute.Havnevik tracked down Sigsworth around five years ago, rang him and left phone messages, until one day he agreed to meet her.David Gray and Yoad Nevo, famous for his work with Welsh singer Jem.Embla, which she started recording in May 2005, Havnevik worked with the harpist Rhodri Davies, vibraphonist Orphy Robinson and Lamb bassist Jon Thorne.Television
A number of her songs have featured in the television drama Grey's Anatomy:
"Unlike Me", was featured in an a cappella form (available commercially on the UK "Unlike Me" single, which was released on 16 October 2006) in the season two episode "(As We Know It)"."So:Lo" featured in the season three episode "What I Am", and has been made available as an iTunes exclusive."Kaleidoscope" ("Oh, The Guilt")
"New Day" ("From a Whisper to a Scream")
"Timeless" ("Drowning on Dry Land")
A song called "Strangelove" was featured in an episode of The West Wing, but is yet to be released.The song "Not Fair" is used on Match of the Day.It plays in the background when the Premiership table is being shown.On December 5, 2006 she made her first ever UK broadcast media appearance, on Janice Long's BBC Radio 2 show, performing "Unlike Me", "I Don't Know You" and "New Day."Working extensively with Guy Sigsworth, she also provides backing vocals to a Britney Spears track he produced, which was released in late 2005, entitled "Someday (I Will Understand)."All text is available

these days is Kate Havnevik, whose irresistible music marks the arrival of an undeniable talent.""THE VOICE OF GREY'S ANATOMY," Kate Havnevik's music has had an unprecedented 5 songs placed on the show and several have made it to the Grey Anatomy's soundtrack albums.Kate's debut album is title "Melankton".Melankton is heady, intoxicating and evocative with its mix of wistful lyrics, mellifluous orchestration and cinematic electronica.Download hot new song ringtones direclty to your phone today!Pick your songs, enter your number.Norwegian singer and songwriter Kate Havnevik creates euphoric melodies within an exquisite world of electronica with classical appeal."Serpentine" has a classictronica appeal but what makes Kate Havnevik's songs ornate is the way she uses her voice."Kaleidoscope" has a similar appeal, but dives even deeper into delicate melancholy that suddenly awakens into more vivid revelation.Since Kate Havnevik is working on two more albums I can only imagine the directions she will take within possibility."Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24 hours."From the snow capped vistas of Norway comes Kate Havnevik, a modern day Nordic siren ready to enchant us with her imaginative debut and to make her mark in modern pop music.As much as I hate comparisons I think if you are fans already of Bjork, Dido, Royksopp, Hooverphonic or Imogen Heap, I am pretty sure you will find lots of things to enjoy on Melankton.Voice (often supple and hushed), lyrics (intimate and warm) and melodies (leisurely drawn out) are the main elements with no strict formula writing for the album and no focus on having one or two big singles.Kate's goal was to have the album be a piece of music as a whole and it's evident when one listens how nicely bound the tracks are for the entirety of the record.With all this marriage of lush sounds mixed together, one would think this is a schizophrenic piece of work, but the neat techno arrangements blend effortlessly with the organic orchestral sounds.Enjoying life's precious moments I think is the most resounding one.On "I don't know you" she knows the stars, the wind the sky and waves yet she would like to know her partner better so she pleads for him to show who he is to her.Isn't that always such a vulnerable state?On "Unlike Me" she sings about time not existing, living in the moment, with no guarantees in life we should live our lives intensely and love every minute of it, "every minute alive" as she insists.On "New Day" she is admiring a beautiful day starting up with her lover awaking with "morning stars" in his eyes, ready for what this new day will have to bring, it is one of the more upbeat tracks in the album, due to the energized electronic beats kicking in mid way through, the other songs are more moody, romantic, serene.She's also excellent Live, so if she tours around your town promoting this album do not miss her performance.Was this review helpful to you?Originally my best friend found Kate Havnevik on iTunes long before the album was released in the states.To me, it was some corporate big wig trying to cash in on a good thing.Enter Grey's Anatomy, showcasing the acapella of "Unlike Me" and the 7 minute extravaganza (extremely reminiscent of Bjork) "New Day", and I realized her voice was really remarkable.Many others had the same idea and I ended up losing every auction.Then I learned that Kate is good friends with Imogen Heap, and that sealed it.The following day I pick it up, practically already bosom buddies with the album having constantly listened to the samples on iTunes (and subsequently shaking my head, trying to wrestle with my normal nature of loving all melodic music and my loyalty to Imogen) and also having Carmen Rizzo's album.Taking a listen through, I was quite pleased with waiting for the album as long as I did.Calm and almost mournful at times, then plucky and upbeat at others, it's almost the perfect soundtrack to "A week in the life of...""Someday", a massively brilliant orchestral piece where her voice soars over with sympathetic lyrical advice, "You will find someone, someday", was curiously missing.Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate her newest song, "So Lo", but a radio pop piece overtop one of the most beautifully emotional songs I've heard in a long time?It definitely was not one of the wisest choices I've seen.Perhaps it messed with continuity?Kate is particularly original but she has loads of talent, and her album is a welcome addition to my collection.You cannot go wrong with Melankton.Was this review helpful to you?Kate Havnevik when people started mentioning that she sounded like Bjork and Dido, I love those two artists so I checked her out.Everything essentially sounds the same to me.Kate Havnevik is of the same twisted genius of Bjork and Kate Bush and her music is something of a fusion of these two styles.Perfection : Beautiful
