Anne Lorentzen

Anne Lorentzen (16 January 1963 – 3 December 2013) was a Norwegian singer and media researcher.

She hailed from Harstad. She issued her first album with the duo Ravn in 1995, before releasing her solo debut as a singer in 1997.

Her 1997 debut album ''Lykkens ravn'' received favourable non-score reviews in ''Bergens Tidende'' and ''Dagsavisen Arbeiderbladet'' among others, and "die throws" of 5 in a number of medium-sized newspapers. "Die throws" of 4 were issued by ''VG'' and ''Dagbladet'' as well as several regional newspapers. The "die throw" 3 was also given.

Lorentzen's 1999 album ''Sårt sinn'' featured lyrics by Hilchen Sommerschild. The album received several favourable reviews with a "die throw" of 5 in both ''Dagbladet'' and ''VG'' as well as in ''Aftenposten Aften'', ''Bergensavisen'', ''Harstad Tidende'' and ''Romerikes Blad''. Some newspapers gave a "die throw" of 4, and one gave just 2 out of 6.

Lorentzen received a doctoral degree in 2009 with a dissertation on women in the music business, ''Fra "syngedame" til produsent''. She was working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Gender Research when she died in 2013 at age 50. Provided by Wikipedia
