Ane Brun – Chevy Super Bowl Commercial

Over the course of four solo albums Ane Brun has quietly nudged a place for herself alongside Sweden’s foremost singer-songwriters. Unlike most of her contemporaries though the transplanted Norwegian’s success isn’t owed to her fashionability (she isn’t) or her dynamism as a songwriter (even at her most arresting she verges on adult contemporary) but rather a workmanlike dependability. A typical Ane Brun song favors spare instrumentation slightly broken sentiment and an unwavering devotion to prettiness; aside from occasional detours into folksy MOR and unlikely covers (her warbly take on Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors is currently ad agency catnip in Europe) it’s a formula she’s stuck to over the years with dogged consistency.
