Agnes Obel releases new single "It's happening again"

‘It’s Happening Again’ is the new single from Agnes Obel, available to stream and download now. The animated video for the track was created/directed by her long-time collaborator Alex Bruel Flagstad.

‘It’s Happening Again’ is the third single to be taken from Obel’s critically acclaimed new album ‘Citizen Of Glass’, following the singles ‘Familiar’ and ‘Golden Green’.

The album’s title comes from the German concept of the Gläserner bürger, the "human or glass citizen,” that deals with the individual’s level of privacy. Rooted in today’s overshare-heavy age of social media, Obel has woven this concept, lyrically and musically, into the album’s ten tracks, as they examine the provocative topics of transparency and diminishing privacy, a world of “glass people” who bare all via social media, and the affect that has on us emotionally and creatively.

‘Citizen Of Glass’ has received unanimous critical plaudits:

• “With its beauty and sonic twists, Citizen Of Glass is a thing of quiet wonder” **** - Q MAGAZINE
• “While 2013’s Aventine was a glacial landmark, Agnes Obel’s self-produced follow-up is so much of a leap that it should increase her audience exponentially” **** - MOJO
• “Unsettling, but very pretty...a bold experiment that pays off" - SUNDAY TIMES
• “The perfect link between the experimental and the accessible. Jazz? Classical? Pop? Who cares, it’s gorgeous.” - MONOCLE
