Meet Rikke — a Norwegian alternative pop star who gained popularity through her participation in the reality show Hver gang vi møtes, performing with John Legend at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, and collaborating with hit streaming artists like Madcon and Emma Steinbakken. Now, she’s introducing her new song “High Horse,” which explores boundaries in relationships.

Rikke’s music is an uplifting blend of funk and soul grooves that’s sure to boost anyone’s spirits. But the lyrics tell a different story. She candidly reflects on how she found herself caught in the trap of disrespectful behavior from so-called “friends” and their indifference to others. Rikke is more than just a singer and songwriter; she’s an emotional storyteller unafraid to forge her own path and open listeners’ eyes to real issues.
