Nils Bech – Look Inside (2013)

Look Inside is the second album from Norwegian artist Nils Bech. His first critically acclaimed album Look Back, released in 2010, catapulted him onto the world stage. His music is indefinable by any one genre. It is the coming together of art, performance and music, giving birth to the hauntingly beautiful, concept that Nils Bech brings to life.

Look Inside is not merely an album, but a musical journey of mind, body and a soul, a love story that is best understood when watched alongside the visual videos. The lyrics, are dark, heart-wrenching and desperate, questioning every part of his own humanity. However, the melodies and gorgeous strings that accompany these tortured lyrics are often joyful and inspiring. There is no doubt in my mind that Nils Bech is a very talented composer, songwriter and performer.
