Early Sunday morning
Bodies moving to the beat
Temperature is rising
Saints are fighting in the street
Heard a premonition
Pain will follow ecstasy
Suddenly I’m moving
Something’s coming over me
If I should die for you
Show me your halo
(Hei-lonna-heilo)
Cause I believe in you
Give me your halo
(He-lonna-heilo)
Be my religion
Something to die for
Heartache and ecstasy
If I should die for you
Show me your halo
(He-lonna-heilo)
The born Christmas Star
As Alexandra Rotan embarks on her first solo Christmas tour, her biggest Christmas wish is about to come true. Her childhood dream has become reality – and with her on the journey she has her great love, Markus.
ALEXANDRA ROTAN (28): singer in KEiiNO, solo artist and TV presenter. Currently on her first solo tour, “Alexandra’s Christmas”, in the run-up to Christmas. Lives in Oslo, where she shares a home with guitarist Markus Maaren Bastøe (30).
Photo spread (page 18): A home for Christmas: Alexandra and her musician boyfriend Markus moved into their first shared apartment in central Oslo during Advent last year. Blue sequin dress from Iben NOK 3499 – £245/$307/295 EUR).
Alexandra Rotan has the kind of smile that automatically lifts the mood in the room. It’s not a fake smile for the camera, but a spontaneous expression of the joy of life, making her curls dance cheerfully over her shoulders. Yes, like the very definition of “jolly”, for lack of a better word.
And it is with this smile that she energetically meets us at the door of her new home in Oslo. The place she and her boyfriend Markus Maaren Bastøe moved into during Advent last year. – where this year she is looking forward to creating new Christmas traditions.
“I have already started planning the small gifts that Markus and I will give each other in a joint Christmas calendar. It is not materialistically motivated, but preferably a compliment on a note or something else that shows that we appreciate each other. It is about what you want your person to wake up to in the run-up to Christmas”, smiles Alexandra, and puts down a coffee cup with powder pink lipstick marks.
The musician promises a good atmosphere all evening when the music group takes over the city’s queer nightclub.
“I think it will be a lot of fun!
This is what Tom Hugo Hermansen says to KRS. The Kristiansander, who is part of the music group, KEiiNO, is ready to take on two quite different stages this weekend.
First, KEiiNo will play a concert at Kilden with the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra in connection with “Barnas Superkildendag” on Saturday. Then they will move on to the Barrikaden nightclub in the evening.
“We think it’s very funny that a queer nightclub has been established in Kristiansand. Since we are in town this weekend, I contacted Skeive Sørlandsdagar and wondered if they were interested in making a kick-off party, says Hermansen before continuing:
“And they thought it was a good idea! So its a bit last minute, but it will be a nice evening.

Hero, baby
La la la la la

La la la la la
La la la la la
la la la la
La la la la la
I’m scared of monsters who are hungry in the night
Young evil sailors, zombie ravers want a bite
When the light is falling
And the night is dark for all
I need a hero, want a hero
Who can guide me through the night
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
Can’t see the light, it feels so right
I need a hero, baby
Da Da Dearpa
Getcha
Isen den slår sprækka
Når flamman står i taket e vi først i rekka
Ah, ah, superpow
Dugge tungt på ruta
Fyre ut av natta med et Damdam
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
When the night is dark and cold
Will you hear me when I call
I need a hero, want a hero
Who can save me when I fall
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
Can’t see the light, it feels so right
I need a hero, baby
All the monsters here
They can’t see your fear
Cause a hero won’t back down
All the monsters here
They can’t see your fear
La la la la la la
I need a
I need a hero, baby
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

Chastises the Eurovision jury system: − Unfashionable
In 2019, the Norwegian ESC finalists experienced the same thing as Finland’s Käärijä did on Sunday night: Won the people, but not the competition. Now they hope for change.

Det snør himmelsk korrekturlakk
Over feilstavet sommer
Og hør bylarmen forsvinner
Under dalende flommer
Vi har hørt at ingen snøfnugg er like
Og sånne under kan en tenke på en stund
Jeg lener hodet helt tilbake
Og får et iskyss på min munn
Og får et iskyss
Det snør stumme stjernesøstre
Fra usynlige munner
Og ør av angrepet fra myldrende lydløse sekunder
I dag inntas jorden av en himmelsk hær
Uten våpen tvinges hele byen i kne
Alt går litt langsommere her på jorden
Når hele himmelen faller ned
Når hele himmelen faller ned
Takk for den unyttige snø
Til bry og til besvær
Nå inntas jorden av en himmelsk hær
Uten bomber og granater
Tvinges hele byen i kne
Alt går litt langsommere her på jorden
Når hele himmelen faller ned
Når hele himmelen faller ned
Hele himmelen
Når hele himmelen faller
Når hele himmelen faller ned
Alt går litt langsommere her på jorden
Når hele himmelen faller ned

Football songs that are made solely to be there, tend to be a bit small, full of bragging and nationalistically charged words.
For someone who for 28 years has had a strained relationship with the football song “Alt for Norge”, first and foremost due to Jørn Lande’s affected and pompous “heavy ballad vocals” full of emotion, it is liberating to hear the new version with Alexandra Rotan, from Keiino, as a vocalist.
