Swedish synth-pop artist, Krigarè ( Kree-Gar-Uh ) shares a cover of A-Ha’s “Take On Me” and gives the track an updated synth-pop spin to the classic ’80’s song.
Krigarè adds in drum machines and layers synths in a way that creates visual imagery, depth, and a modern take on a classic song. Krigarè is actually the Swedish word for ‘warrior.’
Since getting her start in the music industry on backing piano with Kelly Clarkson, she’s since then been able to hone her craft, and create a vision for her artistry.
While she’s still a young artist, Krigarè shares her compelling stories of surviving two different cancers all by the age of 18.
“My life has been full of battles these last three years. It has been by far the most challenging years not only as a person, but also as an artist. I’ve had to nd my voice again, and decide on who I am coming out of trying times. I am a WARRIOR!”
– Krigarè
At age of 8, Krigarè played the piano at the 2006 Grammy Award Ceremony for Kelly Clarkson’s performance of “Because of You.” Krigarè also played the lead role in the video version of the same song, and has appeared in other videos for Jarrod Neimann, Tenth Avenue North and Chris Folsom.
The cover track is great, but I really recommend some of her original material which you can find on YouTube, SoundCloud, and Spotify.
