After catching the attention of the growing Americana-loving audience in Norway with her 2012 debut Golden Town - the title a reference to her mother's hometown Golden, Colorado - Signe Marie Rustad secured her first Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) nomination with critically acclaimed second album Hearing Colors Seeing Noises (2016). On her third album, When Words Flew Freely, Rustad returns with the powerful, elastic voice and poetic lyrical style that has earned her a loyal fan base. The album's nine tracks revolve around traumatic life events, and the feeling of emotional stagnation, with a severe writer's block as a result.
