Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Leif Vollebekk has shared a new version of his song “Southern Star,” featuring award-winning Norwegian artist AURORA. The track originates from Vollebekk’s forthcoming short film of the same name, which merges the cinematic tone of Vollebekk’s Revelation album with his visual storytelling. Vollebekk’s latest album, Revelation has been hailed by critics and fans alike since its release. Recorded at Sunset Sound and Dreamland in Woodstock, the album feels both spiritual and grounded, an exploration of time, nature, and consciousness that blends narrative lyrics and one-take vocal performances with lush, cinematic arrangements. Revelation reflects on the mysteries of the divine and the beauty of impermanence.
Revelation always reminded me of a dream sequence, the songs felt like a little movie, and I wanted to see that movie,” Vollebekk says. “AURORA and I had been fans of each other’s music for years and kept talking about finding the right way to collaborate. When I mentioned I couldn’t find a lead actor for a film I was working on, she simply said, ‘I’ll do it. Come to Norway.’ Two weeks later, we were filming. I can’t thank her enough for what she brought to it – her radiant presence, her generosity, and that unmistakable voice.”
