Wildly diverse but spiritually rooted in Einarā??s well-established musical world, ā??16ā? is an album that brims with surprises and spinning curveballs. Collaborating with everyone from modern prog contemporaries like Bent Kneeā??s Ben Levin and Agent Frescoā??s Toti Gudnason, to experimental cellist (and regular Leprous live musician) Raphael Weinroth-Browne and Magnus BĆørmark, best known as a member of Norwegian alt-folk troupe GĆ„te. He also once again collaborates with Ihsahn and Starofash. The sound of a restless spirit in his absolute element, ā??16ā? is an extraordinary first foray into solo waters for Einar Solberg.

? 2023 InsideOutMusic under exclusive license from Einar Solberg · © 2023 Century Media Records Ltd. under exclusive license from InsideOutMusic / Einar Solberg · [...] Made in the EU ·"16" is a CD release by Norwegian artist Einar Solberg, known as the charismatic vocalist and creative driving force of the progressive band Leprous. With this album, Solberg presents an intensely personal and atmospheric work that blends progressive rock, art pop, and modern alternative elements into a cinematic listening experience. Layered vocal harmonies, intricate arrangements and dynamic shifts between fragile intimacy and powerful climaxes create a narrative arc that feels like a journey through emotional extremes. The production focuses on depth, nuance and clarity, allowing subtle electronic textures, organic instrumentation and Solberg's unmistakable voice to stand out in every track. Lyrically, "16" explores inner conflicts, vulnerability and self-reflection, turning the album into a cohesive, emotionally charged statement rather than just a collection of songs. This CD edition is designed for listeners who appreciate carefully crafted albums that reveal new details with each play and reward attentive, repeated listening. It fits seamlessly into the contemporary progressive landscape while maintaining an accessible melodic core that will appeal both to long-term fans of Einar Solberg and those discovering his work for the first time.
Einar Solberg has built an international reputation as the frontman of Leprous, one of the most acclaimed modern progressive bands of the last decade. With his characteristic high-register vocals, expressive stage presence and strong songwriting, he has helped shape a recognisable sound that bridges the gap between progressive metal, alternative rock and art pop. Numerous tours across Europe and beyond, a dedicated international fanbase and critical praise for multiple studio albums have established Solberg as a distinctive voice in modern progressive music. His solo work continues this trajectory, highlighting his range as a composer, vocalist and storyteller, while offering a more intimate insight into his artistic personality. "16" showcases his ability to combine complexity with emotional directness, reinforcing his status as one of the most interesting figures on today's progressive scene.
