Truls

Truls releases his second solo album, «Emergo», on 22 January, and invites you to a release concert at Parkteatret on 5 February. With plenty of new music and old favourites in the set, everything is in place for a very special evening.

After several years of intensive studio work, musical exploration and personal upheaval, Truls Heggero is finally ready to release his second solo album. The title, which means to emerge or come to the surface, describes both the process behind the album and the feeling of entering a new phase in life and career.

Together with producers Sigurd Thomassen and Even Ormestad, Truls has created an album that looks back while also pointing forward. The music draws on his entire career, from the indie rock of Lukestar and the playful collective Truls & The Trees to the electronic pop universe that made him known as a solo artist. The result is a genre-crossing sound combining organic instruments, analogue synths and modern production.

His distinctive falsetto is still there, but this time Truls also explores new aspects of his voice. The lyrics are personal, touching on growing up, love and change, nature, and finding your place in a constantly changing world. “I bare my soul in my lyrics, because a good lyric is one that hurts a little to write,” Truls says of working on the album.

Truls broke through as a solo artist in 2013 with the major hit «Out of Yourself» and the album TRVLS, after many years as frontman of Lukestar and Truls & The Trees. He has since released several standalone singles, but Emergo is a full album of new material. Truls was originally due to play at Parkteatret in 2020, but the concert was cancelled. Now he finally gets the chance to take the stage with a brand-new album in tow.
