I'm asking about the genre and musicians of all origin are of course welcome!

I just now discovered Forndom through their album Dauðra Dura. Link in the title/post above.

One of my favorites is the soundtrack of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Wardruna and Heilung, while amazing performance wise and musically, is a bit too dark and demonic for me. I do like Skáld's Huldufólk though.

There was a Nordic-folk-pop song that was a pretty big hit around '97 I think it was. I think I first heard it on NPR radio in the States, but it got play on other stations and presumably around the world.

I can hear it in my head easily, but don't remember the lyrics, singer or title. Female lead. Quirky song, sort of a 'Nordic rap' but with a sweet (not hard), playful edge to it. Actually, I think one fragment of the vocals was "can't you see..."

    I'm wrestling with the ID here.

    Come to think of it, a better description would be probably be indie / alt / orchestral-pop. But it certainly does have some folk-pop sensibilities, yes.

    If I don't figure it out, I'll probably throw it out as a general question, and tag you.
