Medicine
SKAAR
WE SAY
There’s something irresistibly bold and intoxicating about 'Medicine', the latest release from Norwegian artist SKAAR. Driven by blaring production, pounding percussion and raunchy guitars, it’s a confident, untamed anthem that channels flashes of early Arctic Monkeys through its feral groove. Following praise from Notion, Wonderland, The Line of Best Fit and 1883 Magazine for her cinematic 'Mad Woman' era, alongside strong Spotify DSP support, SKAAR turns inward on 'Medicine', confronting guilt, paranoia and the uneasy sense of karmic payback in love. Born on Norway’s dramatic western coast, SKAAR has carved out a reputation for razor-sharp lyricism and emotional depth, recently earning a Norwegian Grammy for Songwriter of the Year. With 'Medicine', she opens a new, unfiltered chapter — raw, assured and impossible to ignore. Watch the video here.
