I Thought We Were The Same Vinyl

I Thought We Were The Same is the new studio album by acclaimed Norwegian/Swedish singer, songwriter, producer and independent artist Ane Brun, released on 6th November.   
Returning with her most personal and compelling album to date - and her first newly written music in six years - I Thought We Were The Same is a powerful collection of songs exploring trust, identity, betrayal and the remarkable human capacity to rebuild.

Musically, the record is among Brun's most adventurous works. Written over three life-changing years, the album marks a striking new artistic chapter for the Scandinavian musician. Expanding the sonic world she established on the acclaimed After the Great Storm (2020), Brun embraces an even bolder electronic-pop landscape, combining deeply intimate songwriting to create some of the most immediate and emotionally resonant music of her celebrated career.

“With this album, I wanted to experiment with how far I could take my music into a clearer and more pop sound with distinct choruses and hooks, without the music losing its nerve,” says Brun.

At the heart of I Thought We Were The Same lies a universal question: what happens when the people we trust most become strangers? Rather than focusing on a single relationship, the album examines the fragile architecture of trust itself - how it shapes our lives, how easily it can fracture, and why, despite everything, we continue to choose connection.

"This album became a way of understanding how deeply trust lives in us," says Brun. "It's extraordinary that we continue to trust each other, knowing it can be broken at any moment. That vulnerability is one of the most beautiful things about being human. Maybe we should all be more aware of how valuable it is that someone trusts us."

For more than two decades, Ane Brun has built an extraordinary career entirely on her own terms. As an artist, producer and founder of her own label, she has earned international acclaim for her unmistakable voice, fearless creativity and uncompromising independence. With I Thought We Were The Same, she once again demonstrates why she remains one of contemporary music's most distinctive and visionary artists.
