Tromsø based Soul songstress Mathilde Widding returns with her stunning new single ‘Burning Pockets of Love’. Norway’s answer to Amy Winehouse? A Scandinavian Janis Joplin? High praise indeed but deservedly so. This young woman has talent way beyond her years.
‘Burning Pockets of Love’ is a Rock infused Blues belter, with buckets of Soul. It’s a powerhouse performance from the star in waiting. Recorded at SAYWORD Records Studio, it showcases Mathilde’s characteristic vocal grit and effortless command of melody, delivering a sound that is both vintage in spirit and modern in execution.
With over 3.8 million streams on Spotify and a string of sold-out shows in her wake, Mathilde has rapidly evolved from a local phenomenon in the Arctic to a definitive voice on the Nordic scene. Her vocal signature—a nod to the timeless greats of the 60s, infused with a contemporary, raw authority—has already secured her spots on influential playlists all over the globe.
Following the massive success of ‘Spells Me Under’ (2024) and ‘Good Grief’ (2025), Mathilde is ready to take this to the next level. Supported by SAYWORD Records, this release marks the first glimpse of her forthcoming album.
