"Vegvisir", inspired by a Norse sign intended to help travelers find their way through storms and rough weather, is a song originally written and produced by Singer-songwriter Helene Bøksle and composer Sindre Hotvedt. Helene is a renowned singer from Norway, famous for her magical and unique voice. Helene grew up by the fjords and the mountains in the south of Norway, and her music is inspired by the ocean and the Nordic landscape. Helene is often called the "Voice of the North". The track now sees Nixi Music's Nils Olav give Helene's fusion of traditional folk lyrics and contemporary pop music an electronic twist, the two working together seamlessly to deliver a modern dance epic.
The original features Helene's impassioned vocals sung over cinematic instrumentals which Nils then expands upon by adding an assortment of drums backed by violins, trumpets, and plucked guitar bass. He does this without making the track lose its theatrical edge, with reverbed vocals and cymbal hits keeping the listener's imagination firmly fixated on wandering the Norwegian landscape.
