Vacation / Ann Weberg – Norwegian Soul That Deserves UK Airplay
Ann Weberg’s latest single Vacation delivers smooth, UK-flavoured R&B soul with a touch of Norwegian charm.
When it comes to highlighting overlooked artists, few deserve the spotlight more than Norwegian singer Ann Weberg.
If you’re reading this in the UK, whether you’re a DJ or just glued to the radio, I’d almost beg you to add her to your playlist. As an English-born listener, I know UK soul fans would be as charmed by Ann as I am. Her sound carries that unmistakable UK soul sensibility, the kind that might even make her stand out more abroad than at home.
Her latest track, Vacation, had me hooked from the opening seconds. As her vocals glide over an R&B groove, the atmosphere builds into something warm, soulful, and effortlessly listenable. It’s another gem in her growing catalogue – a sound so balanced and inviting that it’s impossible to switch off.
We rate Ann so highly that her song Hold Me Back opens our Scandinavian Soul Instagram soundtrack. When you click play, we want the first thing you hear to set the tone and Ann delivers every time. Vacation continues that streak, combining honest, introspective lyrics with a relaxed, airy vibe perfect for hi-fi speakers, open windows, and a moment of peace.
In 2025, Ann left an old farm in the Norwegian countryside to focus on writing and producing, embracing a slower pace of life. That intention shines through here. Vacation is about creating space to become who you want to be, even if others don’t understand it. It’s a gentle reminder in a busy world that music can be your travel pass to a few minutes of escape.
Ann Weberg is a talent worth shouting about. Sweden may still act like soulful music is an acquired taste, but the UK remain open to the world of good vibes. Press play, take space, and enjoy a little piece of Norwegian soul perfection.
