Konradsen and Gia Margaret unite on 'Nick of Time' - out today

Northern Norwegian duo Konradsen - the project of Jenny Marie Sabel and Eirik Vildgren - return today with new single 'Nick of Time', a moving collaboration with Chicago songwriter Gia Margaret. Released today alongside an animated visual made by Jacob Grönbech Jensen (Kelly Lee Owens, Prins Thomas), the song captures a fragile space between stillness and change.

Two acts who have built worlds out of quiet precision and emotional restraint, Konradsen and Gia began exchanging ideas between their studios in Oslo and Chicago after years of mutual admiration.

The resulting collaboration unfolds as a spectral meditation on patience and uncertainty. The song’s delicate keys guide its opening, falling like droplets atop the angelic harmonies of Gia Margaret and Konradsen, with the line “I am able, I am capable / I am worn out, alive” standing as a deft summary of what it feels like to endure transformation.

Speaking on the song's lyrical inspiration, Jenny Marie Sabel of Konradsen said:

"I was going through a lot of big changes in my life at the time. Everything felt like it was moving so fast, and every big decision seemed to come down to the very last moment. I’ve always been what you’d call a slow changer — I can happily do the same thing for years, while some people love jumping into new projects all the time. I like routine and process, and I don’t like to rush into things. Over the past couple of years, I’ve asked myself over and over: “Will we find a solution?”, and somehow, things always seem to fall into place in the end."

Gia Margaret added:

"When Jenny sent me Nick of Time it blew me right over! I was asked if I could contribute to it while I was in the thick of finishing up a record of my own and I had no business taking it on... but I couldn’t look away. I felt totally immersed in her voice and words and it offered some room for playfulness. It was so easy to sing with Jenny’s beautiful and effortlessly cool voice. I also filled all the spaces I could with synth and piano. I’ve always felt some affinity with Konradsen’s production style so it felt like second nature. I hope this is the beginning of many more collaborations with this wonderful band."

Konradsen's debut album 'Saints and Sebastian Stories' (Cascine) won a Norwegian Grammy and praise from the likes of Pitchfork and The FADER for its tender storytelling and emotional precision. Their second album 'Michael’s Book on Bears' (777 Music) saw them re-emerge with a deeper sense of place and perspective. 'Nick of Time' continues that evolution - two worlds meeting in quiet harmony, finding beauty in the slow arrival of clarity.

Konradsen's new single 'Nick of Time' (feat Gia Margaret) is out now via 777 Music. Konradsen play a special show at MUNCH in Oslo on 10th April 2026 - tickets on sale Monday 17th November.
