Thom Hell Essentials

Norwegian singer-songwriter Thom Hell is direct in both music and emotion—mixing stark acoustics and feather-light piano with a streamlined but purposeful approach to rock. With a sure grasp of classic ‘70s orchestral pop and a natural flair for melody, his 2004's debut—I Love You—saw Hell mine a deep seam of introspective lyricism. It's a style that occasionally turns raw and confessional, but Hell underpins the heavy tone with a natural, homespun sound which—when coupled with Hell's carefree falsetto—creates something heavenly.
