Oslo, Norway - On her new album, Storst av alt (Greatest of All), Swedish singer Carola performs familiar songs from the major milestones in life, such as baptism, marriage and funerals. Released on KKV (FXCD 290), these are songs about belonging, love and death.

Kjetil Bjerkestrand (a major influence on Sova på min arm (Sleep on My Arm) from 2001) has arranged the music for strings, bass, drums, guitars, organ, piano and keyboards. Other featured musicians are Knut Reiersrud, Bemt Rune Stray, Helge Norbakken, Gjermund Silsei and strings from Stavanger Symfoniorkester, conducted by Sveinung Sand. Marian Lisland has done the choir arrangements and also sings in the choir with Gabriel Forsman and others. The CD was recorded in Cape Town, Studio Nordraak, Oslo, St. Johannes Church in Stavanger, The Hitfactory in Stockholm and Rainbow Studio, Oslo in January, February and March 2005.
