Hailing from southern Zambia and the small town of Ås in Norway, Nora Shikoswe Hougsnæs, better known as Shikoswe, has become one of the biggest indie hopes of Scandinavia in a few years only. After a series of bewitching singles and the release of an EP back in 2016, she has now unveiled her 10-track debut album, Back In The Tall Grass, as well as a video for the closing song “Swimming”.

The DIY visuals are a perfect fit for this dreamy indie pop single which comes with a very positive message. Singing “Don’t weigh yourself down” to someone who “did not ask to be born”, the singer-songwriter delivers a meditative mantra where she invites the listener – and probably herself – to put things in perspective in order to move on and avoid self-blame.
