I first got into KEiiNO during the pre-Eurovision season. My fiancé and I are huge Eurovision fans. Every year we listen to the songs representing each country as soon as they are announced and begin to rank and build our favourites in the lead up to the final.
Continue readingNot surprisingly has KEiiNO given us fans yet another fantastic single release that surpasses the expectations of many of us.
“Unbreakable” is, without comparison, one of the most unique EDM songs on the market, a true gem.
The way KEiiNO and their composing partners have played with the lyrics, the melody and the soundscape this time, really drags us into the cold dark winter woods of a fairytale. The slight touch of echo, as well as Tom’s crispy voice, when he sings the beginning of the second verse, literally makes me feel the ice-cold crystal wind of the winter frost surrounding him. Like always, Tom’s and Alexandra’s voices melt together in perfect harmony when they share the rest of the second verse.
Continue readingWe know the story in “Unbreakable” is based on the Russian folk fairytale, “Snegurochka” (The Snow Maiden). What made you dive into this fairy tale and write a song based on it?

When the day was dark as the night
Pale blue lips of the morning
‘Cause the darkness follow the light
Found a northern boy in the summer
When he told me not to be shy
I kissed him down by the river

Cause my mother told me
Girl, to make a someone like you
Someone stronger than the ice
That kings would bow down to
I had to find the northern star
A boy would never do
Unbreakable

Continue readingThe day where KEiiNO has announced their new release has arrived and the single, “Unreakable” will be released on March 12.
The titles of KEiiNO’s songs usually give a very good description of the content of their songs, even though the title might only be a one-word-title.
Continue readingAll three of us have experienced not being fully accepted for who we are
– We share many values, such as an open attitude to diversity. All three of us have experienced not being completely accepted for who we are, or taken very seriously, the southerner says.
Continue readingThe 41-year-old is very concerned about everyone who is struggling mentally, when they now enter a new dark period in more than one way.
In an article in VG, the KEiiNO star says that he speaks from personal experience when he knows how difficult the meeting with the public sector can be, when the need for help is greatest.
Continue readingThe reason why I became so passionate about them, and eventually starting following them on Instagram, and listen to their music on Spotify was because I, like them, share a very similar story of always being told, as a child in school, that I was not good enough because I was different from the rest of my friends. So when “Spirit in the Sky” was released, I was overjoyed because not only are Alexandra and Tom the greatest vocalists of all time, but Fred and his joiking was a welcoming bonus! I knew about Fred previously from listening to his Sámi rap group, Duolva Duottar!
