Overview
Rebekka Bakken doesn't fit neatly into any single category, which is precisely what makes her interesting. Norwegian by birth, long based in Vienna and New York, she writes and performs music that sits at the quiet intersection of jazz, folk, and art song — intimate, carefully crafted, and never in a hurry to impress.
Things You Leave Behind is her eighth studio album, and it sounds like exactly that: an artist who has been at this long enough to know what matters and what doesn't. The title track anchors the disc and gives it its emotional center — a meditation on loss and what remains. Around it, the program moves between the contemplative ("Closer," "Shelter," "True North") and the unexpectedly playful ("Yankee Days," "Hotel St Pauli").
Bakken plays violin on the album as well as singing, and the two voices — her instrument and her voice — share the same dry, intimate quality. No excess. No decoration that doesn't earn its place.
Released on OKeh, Sony Music's jazz imprint, Things You Leave Behind is the kind of record that rewards repeated listening. It doesn't announce itself loudly. It settles in quietly and stays.
Interesting Facts
- Rebekka Bakken was born in Sandvika, Norway in 1970 and has lived and performed in New York and Vienna, where she built much of her European following.
- She plays violin as well as singing and often incorporates the instrument into her live performances and recordings.
- OKeh Records is one of the oldest labels in American music history, originally founded in 1918; Sony revived the name in 2013 as a jazz and soul imprint.
- Bakken has collaborated with artists including Charlie Haden, Joe Lovano, and Ryuichi Sakamoto over the course of her career.
- Things You Leave Behind is her eighth studio album, continuing a catalog that spans nearly two decades of consistently personal and uncompromising work.
- "Time After Time" — the only non-original on the disc — is the Cyndi Lauper song from 1983, here stripped back to its emotional core in Bakken's characteristically spare arrangement style.
