Norwegian singer Bernhoft (or rather, Jarle Bernhoft), is clearly the kind of guy that would absolutely ace a music exam. Watching the video for his immensely popular track C'Mon Talk (over a million plays on YouTube), you see him looping a multitude of tracks over the top of each-other: vocals, bluesy acoustic guitar, beat-box. It's the epitome of cool.
With his blend of singer-songwritery tropes and fast-paced rap-esque lyric-spitting, there's something of Ed Sheeran to Bernhoft, albeit in a much cooler, slicker format. The soppy tales of Sheeran are nowhere to be found here - Bernhoft represents an infinitely more stylish kind of music; hell, there's even shades of an Adam Levine-esque slinky sensuality to his voice at times.
Oh, and did we mention he's already appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show? With it's snazzy radio-friendly chorus hook and clinically precise aesthetics, we can easily imagine Bernhoft being a massive hit when he hits UK shores.
