Press F5 / refresh last review.
TV For the fifth time going seven artists interpret each other’s songs in “Every time we meet” on TV2. First up is Ivar Christian Johansen, alias Ravi, who was back last year after a nine-year break. Ravi constructed virtually their own language in their songs and style can be roughly characterized as “hip hop that has never been accepted by hiphop environment.”
Admiral P: “Dødsøt» (Ravi – DJ Leaves / Ravi)
First up is a humble Admiral P – with the first hit to Ravi & amp; DJ Leaves. The admiral is the closest Ravi genres of this year’s artists with their reggae / ska, here with hip-hop twist, but unable to do much with this. It sounds, not surprisingly, as an Admiral P-track, but is a bit staccato and overloaded version, dragged even further than the original (with a slack saxophone and melodica). I am expecting a lot more from Admiral P, and it will surely come later in the series.
Eva Weel Skram: “E-ore” (Ravi)
> 
The first song Ravi produced himself. A pretty nerve-racking song that does not improve in this overbearing version. Eva Weel Skram sings like she always did, but – and perhaps precisely because – it does not seem as though she is aware that there are so many words to be out. It is simply a little too fast, and she swallows some of the words. This is a good distance outside her comfort zone, and it is also evident.
Wenche Myhre, “tiny” (Ravi)
And then comes the first more than diminutive lifted, and it is the veteran of the team that makes a cute and cool version of a song that is not one Ravis most famous. It takes albeit a little while before she finds flow, but it seems as if she put more of herself into the song than the previous two. It is well also the first time we’ve heard Wenche rap. Her shack jazz-inspired version will probably not to be accepted by the hip-hop police, but regrettably a Saturday in front of the TV. Die Wenche will certainly blossom even more during the series.
Dagbladet continuously update.
