    Intro：Egil Olsen 的音乐，就像是邻家大男孩那样甜美。Egil Olsen 是来自挪威的唱作人，一架钢琴，一把吉他，来笼罩整个旋律。 Egil Olsen 唱作着简单的旋律，简单的歌词，甜美的意境。《Nothing Like The Love I Have For You 》整张专辑一共收录14首歌，看到歌曲列表你也许会童趣萌生，超级简单常见的事物，Egil Olsen用来命名歌名。

Egil Olsen 是一个并不广为人知的音乐人，在挪威因为新专辑的singer/songwriter精彩的MV获得了大奖而受到关注。

Egil Olsen以Uncle's Institution为名发了三张专辑，包括2002年的《Brand New Fool》，2003年的《Everything A Man Can Dream Of》，2005年的《Walkie Talk To Me》，以及2001年至2004年一些凌乱的作品组成的《Brand New Fool》。

轻柔的吉他、平缓的节奏，还有温润连绵的嗓音，不紧不慢，隐伏着伤感的慵懒情绪，那些简单的音符都沉缓地滑过，好像来自尘嚣之外。和所有的独立小清新一样，没有繁复的编曲，没有驳杂的音乐元素，在形式上呈现出极简的音乐风格。

Egil Olsen的歌曲同样也会被定为深夜闲听的作品。

边听音乐，边看歌词，能被他打动的不仅仅在于声音的温暖，优美，还有真实吐露人生的欢乐和黑暗。每天旅行在欧洲的国家，带着自己的吉他，每天穿梭在旅店和大街小巷，看到形形色色的人和事，让Egil Olsen多了些人生的看法，而记录下这些片段最好的手段便是把他们都写下来。

要说Egil Olsen的吐音上让我觉得这个挪威小子唱歌表情一定够夸张（其实不然，而是很投入，很真诚）。虽然知道Egil Olsen的人并不多，不过在本国因为新专辑的singer/songwriter精彩的Mv，获得了大奖，其实这Mv也说不上有多华丽，多精彩，但就是那么朴实无华的表演还是赢得了大家的认可。

特别值得注意的是Egil Olsen在他的官方网站上免费提供了他过去几张唱片的下载，非常全，又是一名无私的艺人，当然其实我更喜欢这张唱片的他，很静很舒服。

i am a singer / songwriter is an album by and about an eccentric, dreamy and striving artist. a singer / songwriter. egil olsen.

仅凭这句话，Egil Olsen的歌曲值得被感动。

“Egil Olsen’s biography
my name is egil olsen. i am a singer / songwriter. i make pretty little songs about the hard knock life as a wannabe superstar, love and hope and dreams. i had a solo/band thing called uncle’s institution, but after a soul searching road trip on the west coast of the united states, i found the solo artist within; egil olsen.
after a long time in hibernation, insecurity and darkness, egil olsen packed his suitcase to fulfill a dream. for five weeks, in a car, alone with the guitar, egil olsen visited several motels across california and ended up playing in san francisco, santa cruz and hollywood. lyrics and melodies were born and what was to become the solo artist; egil olsen, and the album “i am a singer / songwriter” had begun.
egil olsen found inspiration in the desperate souls of hollywood and gained belief in being an artist. egil olsen returned to his home in norway, got a dog, moved from the western country sides of norway to the dirty streets of oslo where the album was recorded in a home recording studio and partly in propeller music division.
never before has egil olsen made such contact with his audience as now. the focus is on the lyrics and the melody with a very simple, near and naked expression both live and on tape. the music is warm, pretty and ever-green with personal lyrics with elements of both humor and darkness.
