Bel Canto - Didnt You Know It

Review by IL Ham

Bel Canto's album "Didn't You Know It" is a mesmerizing journey through ethereal soundscapes and haunting melodies. The Norwegian duo, consisting of Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen, have crafted a collection of songs that are both dreamy and introspective, with lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and the passage of time.

From the opening track, "Dewy Fields," it's clear that Bel Canto has a gift for creating lush, atmospheric music that transports the listener to another world. Drecker's vocals are a standout feature of the album, with her ethereal voice soaring over the intricate instrumentation, which includes everything from acoustic guitars to electronic beats.

Tracks like "Foolish Ship" and "Didn't You Know It" showcase Bel Canto's ability to blend different musical styles, incorporating elements of folk, pop, and ambient music into their sound. The result is a unique and captivating listening experience that is both soothing and thought-provoking.
