Elizabeth Moen

Elizabeth Moen is a singer-songwriter from Fredrikstad, Norway. Her music draws from Nordic folk traditions and the kind of lyrical depth you hear in artists like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. She released her debut album 'Faded' in 2016, followed by 'The Silent Sea' in 2018.

Her song 'Red' is probably what most people know. It's a ballad that deals plainly with heartbreak and has connected with listeners who appreciate that directness. Some early critics found her vocal style too raw, but that unpolished quality became part of what people listen for.

Her lyrics often come from personal experience with difficult emotions, which gives them a specific weight. She hasn't built a huge catalog, but the work she has put out stays focused on that kind of interior writing and spare, melodic arrangements.
