It's good. Familiar is such a hit, but I always skip Trojan Horses.

Yeah man, that's such a great line.

Love everything here actually. Superb record.

You being a Dane and all, do you perhaps know anything about her current projects?

For some weird reason, she's never in the news.



But I can't find anything on her homepage or fb other than some shows she's doing.

Pity, me neither. I was hoping you would have some inside info. But I've found she is currently based in Berlin.

She's signed with Deutsche Grammophon, super cool!

Yeah you should do it. She really keeps to herself, but told thisaboutthe album in an interview:



"The title Citizen of Glass, her third record, comes from the German concept of the gläserner bürger, meaning the human or glass citizen. It’s actually a legal term about the level of privacy the individual has in a state, and in health it has become a term about how much we know about a person’s body or biology or history – if they’re completely made of glass we know everything. Obel is fascinated by an artist’s level of transparency and privacy, and how willing they are to reveal personal revelations.



“I really wanted to put across the feeling of being transparent because I definitely look up to the writers and singers who use themselves like that,” she claims, in perfect English (Obel speaks three languages and can count up to 17 in five). “But I’m also scared of this idea of using oneself, teetering on the border of private and personal.”



“I wanted to communicate that I don’t feel 100 per cent about everything with the song “Trojan Horses” and I wanted to write about it’s like having Trojan horses in your head,” she continues. “You feel like you’re made of glass and watch yourself from the outside, you sort of like it but don’t.”

I thought we liked Independent. I'm mostly a guardian reader though.
