很少人能像挪威女歌手Rebecca Bakken一樣,悠遊於流行、搖滾、藍調、爵士、民謠之間,以知性感性兼具的美麉音符,刻劃內心和世俗的境界。她是少數能唱3個8度音階的歌手,她原本學習小提琴,發現自己比較喜歡唱歌,於是又訓練自己學會鋼琴,曾在幾個民謠、唱詩班、搖滾樂團。1994年毅然飄洋過海來到紐約,毫無名氣的外來歌手備嚐艱辛,在等待機會的孤寂中,她投注心力在創作曲子和歌詞,唱出自己的心情。回到歐洲,她的才華展現一些曙光。2003年首張專輯The Art Of How To Fall在歐陸一飛沖天,在德國創下金唱片的佳績。
如詩詞般的歌詞在這張專輯中,圍繞著主題「愛情」,由挪威知名吉他手Elvind Aarset及Kjetil Bjerkestrand等好友跨刀,開始的We Hit It Again是一首帶有R&B的歌曲,描寫戀情剛萌芽時,情人之間愛耍的小遊戲,甜得膩人又樂此不疲;Welcome Home如愛爾蘭微風吹拂;民謠風的Any Pretty Girl;Hard To Be A Loser在陣陣吉他聲中爆發出她強烈藍調歌聲;由維也納交響樂團伴奏的Everything Can Change是她應邀為歐洲最大規模的愛滋公益活動Life Ball 2006寫的主題曲..

歌詞
I still love you deeper than before I have lived a bit more Years have passed since last you’re crying so much easier now Cry out the last drops for the lost come rest your head you have paid all costs Now is the time for you to heal you’re crying so much easier now
All throughout the years you’ve spoken many words Some were lost, some were heard A quiet time has come you’re silent and you’re resting your mind
Know all the stars outside tonight come, rest your eyes you have seen enough Stars are reflections of a heart that’s crying so much easier now
There’s no use in watching all the mirrors you broke You’re older now, the road somehow still winds on
And I still love you deeper than before I have lived a bit more years have passed since last you’re crying so much easier now
