Wroldsen (born 28 May 1984) is a Norwegian singer/songwriter. She is half of the electropop duo Ask Embla, with fellow Icelandic producer and songwriter Arnthor Birgisson.
Wroldsen lives in London.
Wroldsen
began writing songs for American artists to branch out of Norway and reach
larger markets. She usually begins writing songs that start from a word or
phrase, then she adds the melody and how the verses and chorus will feel. Wroldsen
formed a band called Ask Embla in the summer of 2011. Her manager is Mark
Ellwood. She released the solo singles, "Aliens" and
"Rebels" in 2014 and 2015 respectively. In 2015 she wrote the song
"How Deep Is Your Love"
by Calvin Harris and Disciples, in addition to providing uncredited vocals on it.
Since
2013, the publishing interest of Ina Wroldsen’s catalog has been represented by
Reverb Music/Reservoir Media Management.
She
was lost in a fairytale caught in the twilight.
Chasing
bright for your flies in the light forest of windflowers.
She
was lost and she carried the world in her eyes, yeah.
And
the fight that she fought leading caught flame in my dark hours.
I am
outsider on the inside, looking in the mirrors for help.
I am
outsider in the streetlights, praying I will never forget.
And
she dances, like leaped to the sky.
And
she dances, and I wanna cry 'cause she dances the beautiful dates in the night,
she is the northern light.
All
the prayers in the world couldn't help get her home, no.
In
the end heaven said "let her rest here by the lighthouses", oh.
And
the sea and the birds held her hands through the storm, ooh.
I am
outside, in the streetlight, praying I will never forget.
And
she dances, like leaped to the sky.
And
she dances, and I wanna cry 'cause she dances the beautiful days in the night,
she is the northern light.
Hope
is a blazing light, light in a flare cold night.
Life
is a dancing, dangerous force and I know 'cause I see when she dances, ooh she
dances and wanna cry 'cause she dances, the beautiful dates in the night,
'cause she is the northern light.
And
she dances, like leap to the sky.
And
she dances, and I wanna cry 'cause she dances the beautiful dates in the night,
she is the northern light
