In a world where creativity knows no bounds, Thyra Hilden emerges as a multifaceted artist, seamlessly blending visual artistry with musical prowess. With her latest album release, “SENTIMENTAL,” Thyra invites listeners into a world brimming with melancholic teen spirit, where laughter, tears, and dancing converge in a symphony of emotions. Hilden’s journey into the realm of music is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Despite a distinguished career in visual arts, which garnered international attention and accolades, she decided to explore the depths of musical expression in 2021, at the age of 48. Since then, she’s embarked on a remarkable trajectory, earning acclaim for her unique sound and introspective lyricism. “SENTIMENTAL” stands as a testament to Hilden’s unwavering commitment to exploration and self-expression. Each track resonates with a poignant blend of happy-sad humor and reflective nostalgia, drawing listeners into a sonic landscape where every note reverberates with authenticity. One standout track, “ALT OG MER” (Everything And More), delves into the complexities of life’s choices, echoing Hilden’s own journey of self-discovery and reinvention. Inspired by her children’s quest for direction and her own ongoing search for purpose, the song serves as a poignant reminder of the universal desire to pursue dreams beyond the confines of age or circumstance. Hilden’s lyrical prowess has been lauded as “reaching depth with very few words,” earning her the moniker of an “existential pop” artist. Her ability to craft profound narratives within the confines of a song speaks to her innate talent for storytelling and connection. Musically, “SENTIMENTAL” is a mesmerizing fusion of dream pop aesthetics, characterized by ethereal synthscapes, pulsating basslines, and Hilden’s airy vocals. Backed by her bandmates—Lucas Caddeo on bass and production, Martin Drago on guitar, Bernado Batalla on drums, and featuring Anne Cecilie Lindhard on choir and guest vocals, along with Julieta Rod as a guest singer—Hilden brings her sonic vision to life with unparalleled finesse. As the album resonates with audiences worldwide, Hilden and her band, THYRA, eagerly anticipate the opportunity to share their music on the live stage. With plans to perform at Danish summer festivals in 2024, they’re poised to captivate audiences with their dynamic energy and infectious melodies. For Hilden, music is not just a creative outlet—it’s a testament to the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. In her own words, “Trying to reach immortality is messy and brutal, but I will never stop exploring.” With “SENTIMENTAL,” she invites us to join her on a journey of introspection, emotion, and ultimately, joy.
