O’s Notes: Vocalist Maria Roggen and pianist Helge Lien are a Norwegian duo that performs contemporary ballads. Lien does a fine job of providing appropriate music to support the intriguing, poetic stories with Roggen’s heart-felt emotion. Among the best are “Should Have Known Better” with Helge playing the piano like a bongo, and the title track. The messages of“You“are all reflections of experiences, opinions and thoughts assembled to provoke your own reflections of the same.
