Norwegian singer-songwriter Einar Flaa with a beautiful americana single - "Wildfire" is out today!
25.8.2023 08:45:00 CEST | Sounds Like Gold | Press release
The song is a perfect example of Flaa's sincere way of storytelling in a relatable way both as a songwriter and artist. The single is a modern classic.

Many of Einar Flaa's songs are about longing. - Longing for someone you love or something that has been lost along the way. His new song "Wildfire" is out today, and it also speaks to the listener in a gripping way about these feelings. This is the second single from Einar's upcoming album.
The song drags us into a hectic everyday life that prevents us from cultivating the things that really matter, that lie deep in our hearts. For Einar, nature has such a position and especially the coastal nature with the open pine forests where he grew up. Einar says:
- I wish I went home more often, took the trip up to the rock knoll where I sat and looked out over the coastal landscape as a child.
After the last single release "Hidden In My Closet" was playlisted on radio and recived a lot of positive reception, it is clear that Flaa has a special ability to convey something inherently human and recognisable, both as a songwriter and artist. The relationships between humans and nature, of dependence, but also underlying spiritual and philosophical dimensions form the subject matter of several of the songs on Einar's upcoming album. The album will be released in spring 2024.
The single "Wildfire" was written in collaboration with Kim Bergseth, mixed by Johnny Skalleberg, mastered by Helge Sten and produced by Einar himself. The production is spiced up with contributions from Geir Sundstøl, Martin Winstad, Bill Troiani, Jo Berger Myhre, Eirik Tovsrud Knutsen and Kim Edard Bergseth.
