Sissel's musical style runs the gamut from pop recordings and folk songs to classical vocals. Her work on the soundtrack to Titanic has led to comparisons with Irish singer Enya.
Sissel's combined solo record sales (not including soundtracks and other albums to which she contributed) amount to over 9 million albums sold, most of them in Norway -- a country with only 4.5 million people.

Mary's Boy Child
Sissel Kyrkjebø Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So the Holy Bible said;
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible said;
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And men will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
Now Joseph, and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Them find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in manger cold and dark
Mary' s little boy was born
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And men will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
That man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
The lyrics of Sissel Kyrkjebø's song "Mary's Boy Child" tell the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. The song opens with a reference to the Holy Bible, acknowledging the source of the story. Mary's child, Jesus Christ, is the central figure of the song - he was born on Christmas day. The lyrics then move to the shepherds watching their flocks by night, who witness a shining star, hear angelic music from afar, and receive news of the birth of Jesus Christ as a new king. The angels' announcement of Jesus Christ's birth is celebrated in the song's repeated refrain, which guarantees that "men will live forevermore because of Christmas day."
The lyrics then introduce Joseph and Mary, who are in Bethlehem in search of a place for Mary to give birth. The couple is unable to find any lodging until they come across a stable, where Mary gives birth to Jesus Christ in a manger. The imagery of the stable and the manger underscore the humble circumstances of Jesus Christ's birth, which nevertheless marks the arrival of a savior.
Sissel Kyrkjebø's "Mary's Boy Child" is a powerful and uplifting Christmas song that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and the joy and hope that his arrival brings. The song's lyrics beautifully capture the key elements of the biblical story of Jesus' birth, from the visitation of the angels to the humble setting of his birth. The song's emphasis on the lasting impact of Jesus Christ's birth and the promise that men will live forevermore thanks to Christmas day gives the song a timeless quality that continues to resonate with listeners today.

Sissel's got the most beautiful female voice I've ever heard. What a fantastic singer. She's truly a treasure for the ages.
@guntherkriegler4706
This is not a human.
This is not a woman.
This is a ANGEL OF GOD.
No one can sing that so beautifully...
@timothyrea4757
Which is more beautiful? Her voice? Her smile? Or those dazzling eyes? She is truly one of a kind!
@francoaste3530
I could put this comment everywhere. Communication: that's her secret. Since more than thirty years she's able to communicate every word, every feeling she's singing. That's not only beautiful singing, that's pure art.
@brianastle6954
Astounding that she was just 18!
Love this lady and her God-given talent!!
