Nightwatch is the eighth CD by the Norwegian nightingale Silje Nergaard. As the title suggests, the CD promises a world illuminated by moon and starlight. In short, music before going to sleep. Nightwatch is filled with a dozen songs that are the best after a romantic dinner for two. Bossa, ballads and blues sung in dreamy atmospheres by the sugar-sweet voice of Nergaard should lead the listener to
… the right 'after dinner' mood. The beautifully subdued accompaniment adds even more to this. In addition to eleven own songs, we find a cover of This Is Not America by Pat Metheny and David Bowie on Nightwatch. This is perhaps the only downside on the CD, because her childish voice can't really handle a song of this caliber. For the rest, Nightwatch guarantees a good night's sleep. (AD)more
