Norwegian pop singer, Astrid Smeplass (Known by her stage name Astrid S) has been on a roll since the release of her first single in 2013.
Since then, Astrid S has created so many colorful pop songs, keeping her audience engaged with EPs and remixes. After about 7 years in the game, Astrid S is ready to unveil her debut album, kicking things off with “Dance Dance Dance.”

The singer’s music always comes with a sprinkle of joy in the production — even songs with sad lyrics like “Dance Dance Dance” are a delight to the ears.
