"Belvedere" is Beady Belle's fourth album. Released in February 2008. This album is leading the group into a smoother, more soulful and at times offers an almost "Nashville"-flavoured textural landscape. The colaboration between Beady Belle and Jamie Cullum continued, and he is joined on a duet on this album - "Intermission music". The soulful, almost funky sound of "Belvedere" is also enchanced by the skillful playing of Dobro, steel guitar, banjo, mandolin and marxophone by Geir Sundstøl. Jørn Øien still plays with his brilliant jazz approach, both grand piano, wurlitzer and other keyboards, as he has done on the band's other albums and tours. "Jarle Bernhoft is Norway's best male singer", Beate sais. When you hear his rough yet smoothe backing vocals on this album, you'll know what she means. "Belvedere" is a more down-to-earth sounding album, produced by the band as well as by Anders Engen. As the literal meaning of "Belvedere" is "beautiful view", the album's nine tracks lays out before us the most beautiful sonic landscapes. If you let your ears see, then "Belvedere" will most certainly welcome you into very friendly territory. /////Released 2008/////

Beady Belle is one of the freshest new sounds to come out of the left-of-field music underground of Norway. A collaboration between singer Beate Lech and bassist Marius Reksjo, Beady Belle's debut album *Home* is a sensuous mosaic of sound that draws on the vast libraries of jazz, pop, techno, drums n' bass and ambient to reveal the essence of Beate's stunning live performances yet manages to combine it with the deliberate strategies of her creative musicianship.
