Norwegian artist Morten EGIL Paulsen delivers his most ambitious work to date with “Fairytale,” a profound meditation on truth and deception featuring the prestigious KORK Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at both Nidaros Studio in Trondheim and NRK Studio in Oslo, this fifth release marks Paulsen’s first collaboration with a symphony orchestra, opening new creative horizons for the accomplished artist.

“Fairytale” draws powerful parallels with Charles Dickens’ timeless “A Christmas Carol,” exploring how the human tendency to perpetuate lies can lead to spiritual isolation. In an era where truth seems increasingly elusive, Paulsen’s lyrics confront the consequences of living in denial and spreading falsehoods, warning that those who sow deceit ultimately reap solitude.

The addition of the KORK Symphony Orchestra brings a new dimension to Paulsen’s sound, creating a rich musical landscape that amplifies the song’s weighty themes. This successful collaboration has inspired Paulsen to consider further orchestral projects, marking a potential new chapter in his artistic journey.

Through “Fairytale,” Paulsen suggests that while Dickens’ Scrooge found redemption, modern perpetrators of dishonesty often face a bleaker fate – left alone with their demons in chambers of their own making. The song serves as both a cautionary tale and a mirror to contemporary society’s relationship with truth.

“Fairytale” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
