Sometimes it's time for change, for new beginnings. After the band Aphranova around vocalist/saxophonist and songwriter Angelique van Os fell apart due to the effects of the pandemic, Angelique now continues under the same name Aphranova on her own with various projects and collaborations.

Aphranova has diverse faces and moves between her own songs -where pop, fusion and acid-jazz merge-, energetic jazz funk and dance classics with DJ Sandstorm's Jazz Mash as well as the new semi acoustic trio Aphranova Sings 80s90s Unplugged. See more soon on projects.

NEW SINGLE SURILL LURILL – with Norwegian saxplayer Karl Seglem

Already since 2015, Aphranova has been collaborating with Norwegian saxophonist, geithornist, poet and composer Karl Seglem. Karl played on two pieces the EP Late Bloomer and two songs on The Crossing. Now Aphranova brings a partially improvised vocalese to Karl's new single Surill Lurill which will be released July 5 on digital streaming platforms. The song is the first single from the new album and diptych, Path. Hope. Myth, (the English version of Mytevegar), which will be released on Oct. 18.

The piece was produced and mixed by drummer/percussionist Alf Magne Hillestad (Ida Maria, Synne Vo, among others) and inspired by a children's song from the Western Norwegian Island of Bømlo, where Karl spent a lot of time in the 1980s with his good friend Kenneth Sivertsen (1961-2006).
