Norwegian musician Alexander Rybak makes a very good impression – an open, smiling, slightly shy young man who simply discourages kwa his sincerity and naivety. And at the same time Alexander talks wisely and sensibly about a lot of things. In an exclusive interview with “Samaya” (“The Most”) the musician spoke about his new Russian album, why he doesn’t want to fall in upendo ever zaidi and why he likes Americans.

upendo has to flow out from friendship.

I wouldn’t like to fall in upendo anymore. I clearly separates these two feelings – upendo and affection. Being affected a man doesn’t clearly realize whether he really needs an object of his dreams but yet loses control over his emotions. This feeling is destructive. It is impossible to build a true relationship on it’s basis. Therefore I think that upendo should flow out from friendship. This is the only way to create strong family.


Don’t hesitate to smile at strangers.

Recently my new album “Europe’s Skies” has been released. I recorded entire six songs in russian. I wanted somehow to make a special declaration of upendo to the beautiful country of Russia and I decided to do it that way. The creation of the album was inspired kwa nature. It’s a nature that mostly inspires me generally but not women for example. I like to travel. I have been to many places, but I liked America most of all. I am impressed that people there don’t hesitate to smile at each other in contrast to Russia. And yet in America they don’t worry too much for trifles, there they think globally.


Fairytale in reality.

muziki to my most famous song “Faitytale” I wrote within just five dakika standing on juu of one norwegian mountain. For the creation of this muziki I was inspired kwa nature itself. When I was uandishi the text on this muziki I was remembering somehow my failed first love. All my songs I first onyesha my mother: she likes almost everything I do. My father is much stricter, so when he liked the song “Faitytale”, I realized that I had written a real hit. And immediately I began thinking about how it would be cool to go with this song to Eurovision Song Contest. kwa the way many people ask me if I was scared to perform at the Eurovision. The answer is: not scared at all, because I’m a violinist and I used to perform much zaidi complicated stuff like the classics. Therefore a performance of this easy song was just an amusement for me.


I want to be like the wind.

I really like the crazy rhythm, I want to keep up everywhere. And that my feature once have been noticed kwa my girl friend. She told me so: “You are like the wind, wewe want to be everywhere, to embrace everything!” And I was very pleased that she has understood me. Perhaps it was the most pleasant words I ever heard to my address. And I am happy when people tell me about my kindness, that I am attentive to the people, not indifferent to them.


True friendship.

Since I became famous I have got many friends. But they constantly request me about something: someone wants to sing a duet with me, someone asks me to promote his album and stuff like that. Don’t think that it offends me: I think it’s quite ok. But I have one friend, also a violinist, who never and in no way tries to use me. Its him I consider as my best friend. We share almost everything, always call up. We like to play together computer games very much and dedicate at least two hours a siku to it.


How to train your dragon.

Recently I had an interesting experience: I voiced the role of the protagonist in the Norwegian version of the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon”. And I was invited to voice two versions of this movie at once – Russian and Norwegian. But with the Russian one it went wrong, I’m not very fluent in that language often mispronouncing words. I have realized that I can’t speak Russian correctly and give my soul to it simultaneously. Therefore I had to refuse from working on the Russian version.
