A Conversation with MATHILDE WIDDING

There is a specific kind of grit forged only in the Arctic North, and Mathilde Widding carries it in every note. Emerging from Tromsø with a voice that feels like a rediscovered classic, Widding doesn’t just sing soul —she delivers it with an authority reminiscent of the genre’s golden era, wrapped in a raw, modern nerve. Since her 2022 debut "Halfway," Mathilde has meticulously carved a path where 60s nostalgia meets contemporary R&B. Her artistry is defined by contrast, the playful sophistication of jazz meeting the heavy, visceral groove of the blues. With "My Mr. Right," "Spells Me Under," "Good Grief" and "Burning Pockets of Love" all earning spots on New Music Friday Norway, and "Tangled Up in Blue" featured on the Vinyl Moon LP (Vol. 103), she has proven that true soul knows no borders. Her latest era, led by the single "Burning Pockets of Love," finds her at her most vulnerable. Recorded at SAYWORD Records, the track is a soul-drenched anthem —gritty, honest, and fueled by a defiant blues-rock edge. Following a string of sold-out shows across 2025 and 2026, Mathilde has solidified her reputation as a magnetic performer who commands a room with either a delicate hush or a soul-stirring roar. As she prepares her debut full-length album, the focus remains on the 'feeling' —capturing a timeless heartbeat and making it entirely her own. "Burning Pockets of Love" is available on all streaming platforms worldwide on April 24, 2026.Follow Mathilde Widding here  :Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/mathildewidding?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3DFacebook : https://www.facebook.com/mathilde.johnsenwidding.9Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/artist/7yiilgx7kKijTeHJs2FoWbFollow Mark-Xtreme here  :Twitter / X : https://twitter.com/XtremeBpmInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/djmarkxtreme/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/DjMarkXtreme/TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@djmarkxtreme
