Album by Ane Brun is the collection of her demos for her most recent album Changing of the Seasons (Mar. 2008). Some sites file the album as Brun's fifth studio album but since all songs here have all been released previously in full studio arrangements, it should rightfully be regarded as a supplement alongside remix and live albums.
Sketches is a fine collection - especially if you enjoy stripped-down alternate versions. Imo, Brun has one of the finest singing voices in contemporary pop but I still prefer her more fully versions.
