This Norwegian 22-year-old pop sensation achieved international success with 2017 EP ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ (an absolute toxic relationship break-up anthem) which led to her Glastonbury debut and winning BBC Sound of 2018.
Her debut album Sucker Punch is out now – featuring 'Sight of You' and 'Strangers' – and is a powerful combination of rebellious pop and epic ballads.
We asked Sigrid to choose her top seven books and records for her dream shelf, from the artists that soothe, to the writers that influence.
'I've been inspired by all these incredible women and men. They've probably shaped who I am without me noticing it, but maybe you can hear a bit of it in my music,' says Sigrid.
Take a look at Sigrid's vibe:
Silent Treatment – Highasakite
'This is one of my favourite records, and I love the look on her face. She’s even wearing a typical Norwegian woollen sweater!'
Back to Amy by Charles Moriarty
'She was really something.. An amazing voice and a hard-hitting and honest approach to songwriting. Forever an inspiration.'
Relax / Relapse – Dråpe
'Mountains makes me feel calm, so I think this is a nice cover.'
I'm Not with the Band: A Writer's Life Lost in Music by Sylvia Patterson
'Sylvia Patterson is a legend and I think this book is filled with good stories.'
Reckless Daughter: A Joni Mitchell Anthology by Barney Hoskyns
'Another family book - we grew up listening to Joni Mitchell because of my mom. Lucky me!'
Art Angels – Grimes
'This definitely spices things up. It’s mad, but very intriguing!'
1000 Record Covers by Michael Ochs
'I’m gonna be making more records in the future so might as well soak in some inspiration for my future artworks, hehe.'
The Beatles: Photographs from the Set of Help! by Emilio Lari and Alastair Gordon
