KJETIL BY (feat. Robin Beck) – Better Days [reissue +1] (2024) HQ *Exclusive*
Were you expecting a new Robin Beck album early in the year? You got it. Actually, this is Norwegian musician KJETIL BY solo album “Better Days” originally release a decade ago. When he started to write the songs for the this CD, the intention was to record a pop/rock album with melodic songs.
Kjetil wanted the best musicians for the sessions and we have TNT / Stage Dolls / Da Vinci members playing the parts, but the big surprise come when Robin Beck also said yes to join the project.
Not only Robin Beck sings on all songs, husband and House Of Lords mastermind James Christian agreed to produce the album and also provide backing / harmony vocals. Robin become so much involved that Kjetil decided to release the album as “Kjetil By feat. Robin Beck“.
As such, this really solid collection of songs sounds more like a brand-new solo album from Robin Beck than a solo album from Kjetil By… but with a Scandi touch thanks to the arrangements, specially the keyboard lines.
