Today ends the round of Marit Larsen postings, as Oct. 13th (eh… unlucky number!) marks the release of Marit’s sophomore album. Did you buy her debut? Under the Surface is one of my favorite albums, mustered by the pretty penny I paid to get it. LOL’
Anyway… if you were a bad blogger, or a bad internet user the past week and missed Marit’s music posting, I’m gonna have all the tracks to listen to until next week… so THIS POST will be modified on Sunday 19th. In the meantime, try to enjoy Marit’s music… though it’s a pretty crappy rip, but it’s good enough to savour it… and doesn’t spend much of my bandwith.
So here it is! Here it goes~~~ xD The Chase!!

The upload of the day! xD Marit sure does know how to tease listeners…
Just listened to it a minute ago… a bit later than I intended (it showed already 200 plays), but I was listening to the soundtrack of Kiraware Matsuko no Issho (Memories of Matsuko) - Man, that film gets me each time in the final “Okaeri”. Even the OST makes me mush inside…
Anyway, back on Ten Steps… of the 4 tracks released already, this is by far the more country-ish that I’ve listened I think. At first, I thought I was hearing a Dixie Chicks intro xD - But Marit’s got a talent for sounding sweet about not so sweet things… ha! “I’m about to break your heart,” she says… but she’s so chirpy! It’s scary x’D
Are you listening to Marit’s songs? She just released “This is Me, This is You” on her MySpace, and there’s a new video… Marit Larsen!! Sin nya singel!! xD “I’ve Heard your Love Songs”
Three posts back I blogged~ It’s not Oct. 3rd yet over here… but it sure is in Norway~ Because the first track has just been released. Of course it’s “The Chase” - no, not the album! The track… So if you’re interested, head over to Marit’s MySpace page…
At the same time, Marit blogged saying this…
To me, one of the biggest challenges and thrills of being a recording artist is not just writing songs, but making albums. A good album is to me one where you can listen from beginning to end, experience highs and lows - and at last feel equally satisfied and hungry for more. An album really should not resemble a random playlist or a “best of what I wrote the past couple of years”. My favorite albums of all time have these qualities (and they are something I will be trying to match for the rest of my life).
I loved she said that ^^ Because I love listening to her album, and I DO get that feeling of satisfied and hungry - so hungry that each time I play her album, I end up playing it 3 continuous times. xD
JULYSSA! Oct. 13!! - The Chase comes out! Will you look for it for me? Wait, I haven’t check Amazon yet, *giggles* - LOL’ Nope, they don’t have it listed… so I’m guessing it might be an Scandinavian release ~ actually I dunno how big a release it is, haha. So maybe it’s an EMI Norway release only?
Oct. 13 is a Monday… I’m not used to a Monday release~~ Are Mondays new DVD/BluRay/CD day in Scandinavia or Norway? Just like Tuesdays is new product day up north in America and Canada…
Oh, did I mentioned I love “The Chase” even more than “If a Song Could Get me You”? And I got so giddy because I started playing the track and noticed the Play Count marked “0″ - which means that I was the first one to play it, or that the counter works different to what I thought~~
The catch? LOL’ You will have to visit her MySpace on Friday the 3rd for the preview of Song1, the next day for the next track, and so on…
Putting it on her words,
If you miss a day, you miss a song.
Do you love it, or do you LOVE IT? Actually, I really appreciate previewing her album… more should do so. *notes down Oct. 3rd*
I shall remember when this comes out, I wonder… can I pre-order? xD Julyssa, I will let you know when this one’s coming out~~ I shall Paypal you with the money, you think that’s good?
… of her new album, The Chase.
