Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel (born 28 October 1980) is a Danish singer, songwriter, and musician.
At the Danish Music Awards in November 2011, Agnes Obel won five prizes, including Best Album and Best Debut Artist.
Agnes Obel's song "Riverside" was featured on the Spike TV series The Mist in Season 1, Episode 2, "Withdrawal". "Riverside" has also been featured on Grey's Anatomy, Ringer, the British TV show Lovesick, the Australian comedy-drama Offspring, and the Danish series, The Rain, in Season 1, Episode 2.
In May 2018, Obel contributed to Late Night Tales with a series of tracks selected by the artist herself. For this compilation, Obel presented various titles by very different artists. Music by Michelle Gurevich, Nina Simone, Henry Mancini, and Alfred Schnittke is included on this album.
Obel says: "I was surprised at how much time I ended up spending on this. I collected all the songs together with my partner Alex and we just spent time listening to records, trying to see what would fit together. Some of the music I’ve included here is on mixtapes we made when we were just friends as teenagers."
On 29 October 2019, Obel announced the title of her upcoming album, Myopia, on social media, and released the new single "Island of Doom". The album was released on 21 February 2020.
Concerning the meaning of Myopia, Agnes Obel explains : "For me Myopia is an album about trust and doubt. Can you trust yourself or not ? Can you trust your own judgments ? Can you trust that you will do the right thing ? Can you trust your instincts and what you are feeling ? Or are your feelings skewed ?"-Wikipedia
