Norwegian Grammy Award winner SKAAR returns with her new single, Medicine, released under Made Music, the label home to Aurora and Sigrid. The track marks the beginning of a daring new chapter for the artist, one where chaos, honesty, and self-acceptance collide. Blending crashing percussion with gritty guitars, Medicine channels guilt, paranoia, and introspection into a raw emotional storm. It captures that haunting thought that love, no matter how pure, can still hurt you, and that healing sometimes means learning to live with the bruise.
Recently named A&R Worldwide’s Artist of the Week and previously awarded Songwriter of the Year at the Norwegian Grammys, SKAAR continues to redefine what vulnerability sounds like. “Medicine is about struggling to be happy in a new relationship cause you're feeling guilty about someone you’ve hurt in the past... You’ll taste your own medicine,” she explains. The song is a confession and a confrontation in one breath, an anthem for those learning to forgive themselves without forgetting.
On social media, SKAAR described how Medicine was written nearly a year ago “in a desperate attempt to understand my own mind.” She admitted feeling herself “changing so much in the last year,” slowly finding comfort in the parts of herself she once hid. “Using this song as a way of celebrating my own imperfections has kiiiind of been healing… Don’t ask me how!!!” she wrote. That mix of humour, honesty, and openness defines her current creative state, spontaneous yet deeply self-aware.
Born on Norway’s wild western coast, SKAAR has always channelled the extremes of her surroundings, the balance between serenity and power, vulnerability and resilience. With Medicine, she embraces those contradictions fully, stepping into a new era that celebrates imperfection and emotional truth. It’s not just a song, but an invitation to walk through the door, and see what waits on the other side.
