Kim Larsen & Bellami - Vi Er Dem Bellami

Review by Megan DeWitt

Vi Er Dem Bellami, the latest album by Kim Larsen & Bellami, is a wonderful tribute to the late Danish singer-songwriter. The album features a collection of Larsen's classic songs, reimagined and performed by Bellami, a group of talented musicians who were influenced by Larsen's unique style.

The album opens with "Joanna," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a rich, textured sound. The song's haunting melody and emotional lyrics are enhanced by the addition of Bellami's signature harmonies. Another standout track is "Papirsklip," a classic Larsen song that Bellami has transformed into a catchy, upbeat tune that's impossible not to sing along to.

Throughout the album, Bellami's love for Larsen's music shines through. Their arrangements are respectful of the original versions, but also add a fresh perspective. The band's use of acoustic instruments, such as the accordion and mandolin, gives the songs a warm, organic feel that's perfect for Larsen's folk-inspired melodies.
