Norwegian musician Marit Othilie Thorvik released her first song in two years under the name Jouska. The track called Flower Moon comes after her 2023 album Suddenly My Mind Is Blank. She wrote the music during a tough time when she stayed in New York City.

Thorvik felt stuck between two places and struggled with heavy anxiety during that period. She kept skipping studio sessions because worry took over her mind. The artist felt disconnected from both her temporary home and her real home back in Norway.

Her emotional struggles created dreamy pop music that moves at a slow pace. Thorvik sings about feeling tired and unfocused during the opening verse. Soft guitar sounds with lots of echo make the song feel like moving through a hazy dream.

The musician worked with her partner Hans Olav Settem who helped produce the track. Settem also sang backup vocals and played several instruments on the recording. Other musicians joined them such as Elias Tafjord on drums and Bård Kristian Kylland on keyboard.

Thorvik explained that she loves creating music with soft textures and quiet melodies. She enjoys mixing electronic sounds with real instruments to create something special. The style matched perfectly with her song about feeling distant from people and places that matter.
