Rebellious songstress Hanne Mjøen has announced the release of her latest EP, Emotional Fever on the 17th of September via Physical Presents. On the EP, listeners will find the previously unheard heartfelt song, ‘Hurt Like Heaven’. The EP follows the releases of the title track & video which received support from Wonderland Magazine and KULT Magazine amongst others. Other singles on the EP include the highly successful ‘Hell With You’, which was accompanied by an eye-catching video and has already surpassed a million plays across streaming platforms, as well as ‘Too Tired (Don’t Feel A Thing)’.The singer has previously worked with well-known artists such as Matisse & Sadko, Deepend and Astrid S and helped write R3HAB’s legendary single, ‘You Could Be’.
During her career, Hanne Mjøen has received significant support from publications such as PAPER Magazine, Billboard, Refinery 29, Pop Sugar, Pop Matters, The Fader, Teen Vogue, Your EDM, The Line of Best Fit, EARMILK, Rolling Stone India, Atwood Magazine, Fred Perry Subculture and Magnetic Magazine to name a few. The singer has also received airplay from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac and public national radio stations YLE X3M (in Finland) and NRK P1 (in Norway). In total, she has collected over 37 million streams on Spotify and Youtube with features on well-known channels such as 7clouds, Wave Music, MrSuicideSheep, Unique Vibes, SuperbLyrics, ChilledAndVibing, Taz Network and The Vibe Guide to boot.
Hanne Mjøen is from the small town of Oppdal however she lived in Oslo for 6 years before “returning to her roots” and moving to the town of Trondheim, Norway. It was after her hit single, ‘Sounds Good To Me’ that she turned away from the “mainstream” section of the industry and began to focus on artists such Robyn, Flume and Lorde who inspired her to try something different. Staying grounded while also finding a way to celebrate her femininity, Hanne Mjøen’s unique style can be compared to the likes of MØ, Sigrid and Dua Lipa.
Telling a coming of age story and the almost overwhelming emotions that accompany it, we join Hanne Mjøen on a cathartic journey shaped by irresistible touches of pop. Emotional Fever drifts between the light and the serious, taking a bold, cinematic approach to resolving inner conflict while still allowing her creative freedoms to run wild. Dashes of romance, bittersweet heartbreak and pure honesty come together to create the artistic world of Hanne Mjøen.
Speaking of the EP, Hanne Mjøen tells us: “Emotional Fever is my roller coaster of emotions. It’s about becoming an adult; not knowing what you feel, or who you are. Going into relationships; not knowing what you want, or what to expect, cause there is no right or wrong. I’m really bad at talking about how I feel, I’ve always wanted to be tough, not letting anything hurt me. Songwriting became a kind of tool for me to let out my emotions and thoughts, and it made me reflect more and grow. I could never stop writing music I think, if I try to imagine it, I only see myself suppressing my feelings and ending up at a mental hospital. It’s impossible for me to imagine it really. Because it helps me so much, and I hope to one day be able to help someone else put words on what they feel.”
Sounds Good To Me
Hanne Mjøen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thousand times
Can see it from miles away
It's gonna hurt
I'm gonna cry
When I walk home in the rain
No one said it was easy
Making life a living hell
'Cause we're gonna be jealous, selfish
Playing a dirty game
Fighting for the thrill of it
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So why don't we get extra keys and bigger beds
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So bring your jeans and old CDs, don't second-guess?
I'll let you down
A thousand times
When I don't pick up the phone
You'll stay awake
Night after night
You've never felt so alone
No one said it was easy
We'll be calling each other names
Making life a living hell
'Cause we're gonna be jealous, selfish
Playing a dirty game
Fighting for the thrill of it
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So why don't we get extra keys and bigger beds?
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So bring your jeans and old CDs, don't second-guess
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Won't you come on over, stay the night
Here by my side, yeah
I keep waiting for you, hold me tight
And we'll be alright
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So why don't we get extra keys and bigger beds?
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
So bring your jeans and old CDs, don't second-guess
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
Sounds good to me
In "Sounds Good to Me," Hanne Mjøen sings about two people who are aware that they are about to embark on a tumultuous relationship. Despite the constant back-and-forth arguments, pain, and heartbreak, both parties seem to derive pleasure from the unhealthy dynamic. The singer understands that she is setting herself up for emotional distress by participating in the relationship, and even sees the devastating outcome from miles away. However, she seems to accept the situation, stating "Sounds good to me" repeatedly, and encouraging her partner to join her in the game. She recognizes that the relationship is going to be full of jealousy, selfishness, and fights, but she embraces it rather than seeking a healthier balance.
The lyrics reveal the dark side of relationships, where the thrill of the chase and the pursuit of intense emotions lead to a destructive cycle. The singer and her partner are likely to hurt each other and to cause each other pain in the future, but they are addicted to the rollercoaster rush that comes with the intense emotions. Mjøen acknowledges the toxicity of the relationship, but insists on continuing it, ultimately suggesting that the drama and the pain is all worth it if it feels good in the moment.
