"My husband and I were blown away last year by Kurt's win on "World Idol." His rendition of U2's "Beautiful Day" is better than the original. He has a sweet yet rockin' voice that playfully pulls you in with his angst, his strong lyrics and unbelieveable voice. BUY THIS CD!!! It's been in constant rotation at our house for a year, and we are still diggin it. WHY ISN'T KURT IN THE MAINSTREAM? He's my favorite -- he'll be yours, too."
Best record of 2004!

"Like others I happened upon the World Idol show on tv and got blown away by the hobbit-plumber from Norway, Kurt Nilsen. I found myself voting for Kurt like crazy that night, and I'm not one to power-vote. I'm a fan of distinctive male voices like Bono, Peter Murphy, David Sylvian...and Kurt's voice is right up there with the best. I bought his CD unpreviewed from Amazon.com, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. "I" is now in constant rotation at my house. Kurt performed live in metro DC at the Birchmere on Dec 2, 2004 to a sold-out house, his first appearance in the USA. I hope his first concert in the States will be the beginning of very big things for Kurt Nilsen on this side of the pond! BMG has got to start distributing this amazing talent...Kurt's records should not have to be bought as imports!"
I found this to be AMAZING...

"I purchased this CD in the month of it's release...and I'm still listening to it. All of the songs are amazing, and I can honestly say that they never get boring at all. I suggest this to anyone who enjoys the work of a great artist!"
