New music from Vilnes

The Norwegian with the amazing voice is once again releasing a pop masterpiece! A Million Smiles is his first single of 2021, and it is recommended by recommended by Deutschlandfunk Kultur in Germany and spinning on radio stations around the world. The song is also featured on Indielista by Spotify

A Million Smiles

“I wanna soar above the clouds so high, in a scenery,
Where I’m surrounded by a million smiles and all the love you could ever want”

The opening of the song sets the stage of a humdrum life. That inescapable feeling that we all can relate to. But what Vilnes really offers in his song, is to bring back the dreams and the urge to live, to take you away to where you can soar above it all, bringing relief in a way that only music can. A beautiful song and a world class performance. That’s Vilnes.

 

Radio, press and Spotify

Vilnes is favoured by indie net radios around the world since his first release. A Mllion Smiles is also played on major regional FM/DAB radios in Germany. The song was also selected for New Music Friday Norway and Indielista.

Vilnes is awesome, another great song!

The debut album is coming!

A Million Smiles is another great tune from the Vilnes songbook. The first album is scheduled for release later this year. Expect a lot of variation on the album! 

This year has been different. I have hardly seen my audience, and I miss the gigs and the sheer energy of it all. I hope that this song will be an “icebreaker”. I am here right now, ready to meet old and new friends.
