similar in their appraisal of Nilsen's voice and lyrics. Norway's largest newspaper, Aftenposten described Nilsen as "an artist who had already found her own voice." It described her music as ranging from "sensitive melancholy moods to light and playful tones", and "imparting joy and peace of mind.." Nilsen's lyrics are often described as "personal". Remarking on this Nilsen has said that her songs are not completely just about herself but can also be about things that she's observed or heard from others: Alle snakker sant (They All Speak the Truth) Siri Nilsen's second album, Alle snakker sant (They All Speak the Truth), was released 11 November 2011.
