The Norwegian singer-songwriter Randi Tytingvåg has the power to light up audiences with her music. It is feel-good music in the best sense of the term, with oodles of charm. “Three” is her debut on the Emotion label, which presents styles of music outside jazz under the ACT banner. Tytingvåg’s ingredients for her music are many and varied. On her latest album she highlights in particular her singer-songwriter qualities and draws from the roots of American folk and country music.
