(By our Norwegian correspondent Jan Ronald Stange) Bérèche You featuring Cassiel Agrippa releases yet another single, “Sweet Harmony”, this autumn. This is a is a cover version, originally by The Beloved in 1993. The song was a massive hit during the 90’s, ended up being The Beloved’s biggest hit, and in 2022 the British magazine Classic Pop ranked “Sweet Harmony” number two in their list of the top 40 dance tracks from the 90’s.

Bereche You - Sweet Harmony

A quick Q&A gave us more info about this release:

Side-Line: What made you choose to do a cover? And why this particular song?

Cassiel Agrippa:  Why did we choose to do a cover? Some might say it’s what everyone else is doing, and they are, but that’s not the reason. Well partly, but also because we talked about if we were ever to do a cover, one song that really stood out was Sweet Harmony. Why? Well, it is a beautiful song, for one. But most importantly, in this tumultuous time it brings a message of unity, peace and perhaps hope. It was a song that back in the day was part of the soundtrack of our lives. So now we hope our version is one that will be enjoyed by everyone – those who have never heard the song before, and those who have heard the original by The Beloved.

S-L: More tracks planned, or other plans?

CA: There are a slew of songs still to be discovered in the musical universe of our minds, so yes, more tracks are definitely coming. We’re probably talking about a new album at some point, and we have one of the singles already done. That’s a brand new, yet unreleased track, upcoming so to speak. This fall will be somewhat busy, but everything will come in due time.

Although we did one cover as a tribute to way back then, we have no immediate plans to do more. All new releases will be original songs. For an album, they will be released together with the other already released Cassiel-singles, in addition to new ones. I think this is going to be a nice one, the second album from Bérèche You. And before that, we will actually have a live performance as support for Henric de la Cour, on February 21st 2025 at Goldie in Oslo. So if you want to catch us live, this is your chance!


Available now at Spotify, Tidal, YouTube etc.

Sometimes - when I'm not cooking, biking, listening to music or attending concerts, I write stuff for Side-Line.com. Mostly about Norwegian bands, but it's been some Swedish, English, American, Danish, German and others too... ;)

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
