Alexandra Rotan (27) shares happy news with boyfriend Markus (29)

Aexandra Rotan (27) is a Norwegian artist, who has really shown that she is skilled and talented.
We know her best as the lead vocalist of the band “KEiiNO”, which back in 2019 won the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Spirit in the Sky”.
The song was a huge hit and in the Eurovision final, held in Tel Aviv, the band finished in sixth place.
In 2021, the band tried again with the song “Monument” but finished in second place behind artist TIX.
Alexandra impressed again when she participated in “Battle of the stars” in 2021. She then finished in second place, after Bjorn Tomren who won the title.
It was last year that the artist was able to reveal that life also smiled in private. Rotan confirmed that she had a boyfriend.
“Yes, I’ve got a boyfriend! I’m happy. Have no comment beyond that,” Rotan told Dagbladet.
Alexandra’s chosen one is guitarist Markus Maaren Bastøe (29).
Alexandra Rotan reveals new step in their relationship.
The KEiiNO artist has until now lived at Eidsvoll Verk, but now Rotan announces that the couple is moving to the capital together, she tells Eidsvoll Ullensaker blad.
Thus, the 27-year-old has put her apartment up for sale.
– It is quite sad as I have enjoyed it immensely, and have spent time and effort to make the apartment gorgeous if I dare to say so myself. But then my boyfriend is gorgeous too, and he drew the longest straw,” she told the newspaper.
Alexandra adds that her heart will always belong to Råholt, but that “it will be very exciting to try out living in the city”.
Lovely Alexandra! Congratulations and good luck with your move.

Last year, artist and KEiiNO star Alexandra Rotan, 27, shared the pleasant news that she had a boyfriend.
“yes, I’ve got a boyfriend! I’m happy. Have no comment beyond that,” Rotan told Dagbladet, while choosing to keep her chosen one secret.
Later that year, however, she revealed that it was guitarist Markus Maaren Bastøe (29) who had captured her heart.
To Eidsvoll Ullensaker Blad, Rotan can now reveal that they are taking their relationship a step further and moving to the capital together. Until now, she has lived at Eidsvoll Verk, but now the apartment has been put up for sale.
– It is quite sad as I have enjoyed it immensely and have spent time and effort to make the apartment gorgeous if I dare to say so myself. But then my boyfriend is gorgeous too, and he drew the longest straw,” she told the newspaper.
The 27-year-old does not hide the fact that her heart will always belong to Råholt, but that she thinks “it will be very exciting to try out living in the city”.
Earlier this year, Rotan revealed to Se og hør, that she met her boyfriend when he was a guitarist in KEiiNO.
“I noticed right away that he’s the right one,” she said.

Star-Sleet

Translation of Stjernesludd, into English

November has been here
Left the sleet
Watching the sun set in black and white
The streets here have only burnt bridges

Tonight, the city flashes like a nightmare
The year so far has been just soft packages
Am afraid it’s too late to take it nicely
The halo faded before the leaves fell

The branches whispered I got as deserved
Not everything I’ve said is bullish
If I had goods, you should have gotten gold

For tonight
When the snow falls
We Make Angels
And we are in Heaven

All good kids are bought and paid
On screen, the charm has gone away
The loose birds of the street are laid under wood
The shelter is closed down so no one has room
I need an answer
So I call an answerer
The voice sounds familiar
As long as it lasts

Tonight
When the snow falls
We Make Angels
And we are in Heaven

Tonight
When the snow falls
We Make Angels
And we are in Heaven

Stjernesludd

November har vært her

Lagt igjen sludd

Ser solen går ned i svarthvitt

Gatene her har bare brente broer

I kveld blinker byen som et mareritt

Året så langt har vært bare myke pakker

Er redd det er for sent å ta det pent

Glorien falmet før bladene falt

Grenene hvisket jeg fikk som fortjent

Det er ikke alt jeg har sagt som er bull

Hadde jeg gods skulle du fått gull

For i natt

Når snøen laver ned

Lager vi engler

Og vi er i himmelen

Alle snille barn er kjøpt og betalt

På skjermen har sjarmen gått bort

Gatens løse fugler er lagt under tre

Herberg er lagt ned så ingen har rom

Jeg trenger et svar

Så jeg ringer en svarer

Stemmen lyder kjent

Så lenge det varer

I natt

Når snøen laver ned

Lager vi engler

Og vi er i himmelen

I natt

Når snøen laver ned

Lager vi engler

Vi er i himmelen

Insomnia

We don’t need to sleep
Light is all we need
You can take my breath away
You don’t have to fade
We can stay the same
Long as we can stay awake

All the colors in the sky got me hypnotized
And the light in your eyes

In our insomnia
Dreaming of a lost utopia
We could live forever – never die
(Joik)
So close to heaven – I need you by my side
Our Insomnia
Dancing in a light euphoria
We could live forever – never die
(Joik)
So close to heaven – I need you by my side
In the

Endless summer night
See the embers fly
C’mon set my heart on fire
Stay forever young
In the midnight sun
C’mon we could still get higher

All the colors in the sky got me hypnotized
And the light in your eyes

In our insomnia
Dreaming of a lost utopia
We could live forever – never die
(Joik)
So close to heaven – I need you by my side
Our Insomnia
Dancing in a light euphoria
We could live forever – never die
(Joik)
So close to heaven – I need you by my side
In me

I can feel the night grow colder
Time is running out
In insomnia
Insomnia

Tell me we could still be stronger
And the night is young
In insomnia
Insomnia

(Joik)
Stay in the midnight sun
(Joik)
Stay in the midnight sun
We’ll be forever young
(Joik)
Stay in the midnight sun
We’ll be forever young

Over ten thousand fans are waiting for KEiiNO in Amsterdam

By Emma Hoff, iFinnmark, November 2nd, 2023
Translated by Karina Brandt, KEiiNO NEWS

The three artists make up the music group KEiiNO.

Now, the trio is looking forward to finally getting back together and playing for their overseas fans.

The band plays in Copenhagen on the Danish Eurovision club’s anniversary, before they for the third time are part of the big Eurovision fan party, Het Grote Songfestivaalfest, in Amsterdam on November 16th. Close to 15,000 Eurovision fans from all over the world will attend.

“Its quite unique and fantastic that we almost five years after we participated in Eurovision, still get the opportunity to play on the biggest Eurovision stages in the world, outside of the competition itself. We’ve always had a close relationship with our fans and work daily to maintain that relationship and accessibility for them. So now we are extremely excited to go to Copenhagen and Amsterdam to feel the love of the amazing Eurovision fans, says Alexandra Rotan.

In a few days, they will release their new single, “Insomnia”. And just like in the monster hit “Spirit in the Sky”, known from the Eurovision Song Contest and Eurovision, North Sámi joik is an important part of the soundscape.

Fade Out

Posted on by

They will teach you how to be a girl
About Jesus and how sinners burn
They own half your lovin’ city
Wanna fade out
I just fade out

Fade out now
Fade out now

They tell lies about a Nordic race
It’s just politics to kill all gays
When free speech is cutting of my head
Wanna fade out
I just fade out

Fade out now
Fade out again

Tell me: Who needs police
That let nazis walk our streets
I’m so angry
I can’t sleep
I’m so angry
But I fade out

Fade out now
Fade out again

Fade out again
fade out again

Fade out again

New Single – Fade Out

Posted on by

On Friday I’ll release a very special song: Fade Out. Not only because I’m happy with the composition and think the musicians play fantastically, but because the text (written by Alexander Nyborg Olsson ) has clearly become the subject of debate before its release. A small piece of art for a text with no harsh words or references to illegalities in the pop world in 2023.
Now, after a little if and but, we get to play this (and many other songs on my upcoming album) for the youth at Flekkerøy until Wednesday, and we will do everything we can to make sure that absolutely everyone feels included at the concert! For those who do not get to hear the song at the junior school concert, I would be VERY happy if you follow the link below to “pre-save”. Then you will automatically get Fade Out on your release radar ????
Song lyrics are rarely autobiographical, and are not these days made as historical depictions. Something about fade out is self experience though. It’s the feeling of anger that ends up in powerlessness. There were many of us who knew this when people with a disgust for most people who can be considered “different” marched in pace, with police protection, down Markens in Kristiansand. Another thing that triggers me, is when people claim that certain people are “different” from what they ARE. Many have experienced this both in and outside Kristiansand.
There are also countless forms of “difference”, not just who you fall in love with, and we hope that the board around Fade Out can help some challenge their own attitudes towards those around them. For others it might just be a nice song. For some, it may be a little stiff. But that’s still fine, as we like to say in the southern part of the country ????

School cancels concert with Tom Hugo after reactions From parents

Posted on by

KRISTIANSAND: – It is a bit special that they cancel because of one group of parents who will censor culture. The only thing we want is to make difference harmless. They probably haven’t seen the concert or misunderstood what the lyrics are about, says Tom Hugo Hermansen, to Fædrelansvennen.
Among other things, he is known from the group KEiiNO, which has won Norwegian
Eurovision Song Contest.
