Jenny Langlo

2011挪威偶像冠军 Below you can watch her perform her winner’s single, ‘Building An Aeroplane’ which was written by Patrick Hamilton, Niclas Lundin, Maria Marcus and Vincent Pierin. We do love us some Niclas Lundin here at Scandipop! And we’re already liking the song. ‘Building An Aeroplane’ doesn’t stray too far from the standard ‘winner’s single’ blueprint. It’s got the usual ingredients of a building tempo and some hugely uplifting and positive lyrics. However, it’s a little bit more guitar based than normal – and lo and behold – Jenny herself actually brandishes a guitar on stage while performing it. We haven’t been following Norwegian Idol, so we don’t know too much about Jenny and her voice. However, based on the performance below, we’re guessing she won because of her ‘alternative’ vocals. She doesn’t belt this one out as you’d expect. Instead there’s a fragile tenderness to her voice. And so we’re expecting that her first proper album (will be subjected to an album of covers first, like the Swedish Idol winners are?) to be in the soft acoustic guitar pop mold.
