Northern light is a new super project from the Norwegian guitarplayer / songwriter Tor Talle. After being a session player and writing music for television, documentary, webmovies and other artists, Tor felt the need to go back to his melodic rock roots.

For the moment Tor is in studio recording songs for his first AOR album of NORTHERN LIGHT with well known singers as Fergie Frederiksen (x-TOTO, MECCA), Tony Mills (SHY), Peter Sundell (GRAND ILLUSION) and Kimmo Blom (URBAN TALE, HEARTPLAY).

Releasedate for the Northern light album will be spring 2005.

Fergie has picked a song called "Eye To Eye". Tor: "Today I have been in studio recorded the backing and I will send Fergie a CD tommorow. Peter Sundell is in studio recording a new song. Kimmo Blom is also working with a song written by me, Fredrik Bergh and Kimmo Blom and two songs written by myself where Kimmo will finish the lyrics. Terje Eide and myself has just written a song together.

Tor Talle is following his comments: "Hello, first of all I will give Mario and Sebastian at MTM a big thanks for signing my new project "NORTHERN LIGHT", I`m really glad you liked my music and gave me the chance to realize my dream."

"I`m so excited about this project and I can`t wait to release the album. I`m really happy with the songs and I got some amazing singers with me on this album. It`s an honor and a privledge to work with Fergie Frederiksen, Tony Mills, Peter Sundell and Kimmo Blom."

"I have written most of the songs myself, but some are co-written with Jorn Lande, Fredrik Bergh, Terje Eide, Peter Sundell and Kimmo Blom. So all of you AOR-lovers, I hope you are ready for some classic melodic AOR from Norway!"
