A Minute Ago is about how abrupt and brutal a relationship can turn. The feeling that can arise when your nearest rejects you, because it is not just the relationship that crumbles, but also everything around you. The world, existence, and worst of all, the deepest, innermost parts of yourself. That you yourself cease to exist because the other does not see you anymore. I wrote the song because I am interested in what becomes apparent in some relationships, namely that we are not as restricted in our abilities as we might like to believe. I am very vulnerable to what you do when we develop a certain bond with someone. The boundaries between the individuals can be blurred, both in good and bad. What is so amazing about pop music is that you can sing about cruel and painful subjects within a façade of danceable, light music. Shape and content can be in strange contradiction yet create a beautiful juxtaposition. A Minute Ago is produced close collaboration with my top companions on my new album Burning Love, namely Jonas Barsten and Yngve Sætre (<3). An artist in the truest sense of the word, Sandra Kolstad’s music has given her distinct voice attention and praise from the Norwegian and international music scene. Kolstad is a classically trained pianist who stormed into the electronic pop scene with authority. With a taste for conceptual albums, her upcoming album release, Burning Love, uses her own experiences to evoke images of renewal and rising like a phoenix from the ashes after a damaging relationship.
