An album about political awakening, poisoned minds, joys of life, vulnerability, greed, boundlessness, seasickness... And a bit of love. Ten small challenges in and around adult life. The melodic songs on Dicte's new album, 'All Good As It Is', might sound light and playful at first, but a seriousness quickly reveals itself beneath the scrumptious surface. This album is about life: life with all its coincidences; life lived at full speed, yet occasionally slowed down by obstacles and challenges of all kinds; life with opinions formed through experiences and revelations; life inspiring a search and sometimes a need for meaning, when one must eventually accept (and try to enjoy) things as they come.
To find the right sound for the new and personal songs, Dicte teamed up with composer, producer, and musician Jonas Struck. Struck is known from his history as a member of the iconic band Swan Lee, as well as his successful career composing music for numerous Danish and international films and TV series.
There is a spontaneousness and lightness to the songs, despite the fact that some were recorded during a lockdown during a global pandemic. Dicte and Jonas Struck laid the groundwork, on which the other participating musicians then had free reign to overdub and add layers, oftentimes at home, themselves. The result is catchy and inviting, as well as thought-provoking.
Alstrup (Jonah Blacksmith) mixed the recordings. Dicte sings a duet with Faroese singer-songwriter Teitur on Seasick, and Jesper Elnegaard (drums), Christoffer Møller (keyboards and vocals), and London-based pianist and keyboard aficionado Nikolaj Torp Larsen round out the lineup.
