On For You, Norwegian singer Inger Marie Gundersen offers a deeply personal and emotionally resonant collection of songs that blend Scandinavian elegance with subtle jazz sensibilities. The album features carefully selected tracks—some well-known, others more obscure—all interpreted with Inger Marie's distinctively calm, heartfelt voice and signature phrasing.

A standout moment is her unique take on A-ha’s global hit “Take On Me,” reimagined so thoroughly it feels like an entirely new composition. With a vocal style rooted in intimacy and restraint, she brings each song into her own world, unhurried and rich in emotional depth.

The album was recorded over a few days in May 2011 at Nilento Studio outside Gothenburg and captures a series of magical sessions driven by musical presence rather than technical showmanship. Produced by Norwegian Rasmus Solem, For You radiates warmth and introspection, evoking the quiet beauty of Inger Marie’s hometown, Arendal—a small coastal town nestled along the Norwegian fjords.

What defines For You is not just the quality of the material, but the chemistry between Inger Marie and her Scandinavian dream team. The musicians’ understated virtuosity allows the music to breathe, creating a contemplative space where melody and feeling take center stage.
