Beat / Especially when it comes to deeply private topics - are you in favour of brutal honesty in art? How comfortable were you addressing topics like intimacy and sexuality on Unfold?
Synne Sanden / Releasing this album is more scary and vulnerable than any of my previous ones. There‘s so much shame around sexuality, and especially bad experiences. On Unfold I write about both the kind of damaging sexuality on the one hand, and healthy and healing sexuality on the other hand. So this is not just a dark album, but it also contains light, and this makes it less scary. To release it feels like letting go, to move on, both emotionally and musically.
Beat / You consciously want to talk about things we may be ashamed about. But when it comes to sexuality, isn`t part of the problem that we`re already talking and singing about it too much?
/ Actually, I think that we have to talk and sing about it
