Synnøve, a local artist, advanced in the blind auditions of the Norwegian television singing competition “The Voice” on February 20, 2026, according to reports in Norwegian media. Her performance was described as “absolutely RAW” by Lyngdals Avis, a local news outlet covering the municipality of Lyngdal.
The singer’s success follows performances by other artists featured on “The Voice 2026: Blind Auditions 7,” a compilation album released by Universal Music AS Distributed Labels on the same day. The album includes tracks from Birgitte Velsvik, Eirik Fredsrud, Rebecka Håland Skilbred, Edvard Aadland, and Håvard, alongside Synnøve’s contribution, titled “Evidence.”
Lister24 reported that Synnøve viewed her participation as “a very nice opportunity to showcase myself.” She reportedly impressed the judges, though details of the judges’ comments were not immediately available. Fvn.no noted that participating was “not exactly in her comfort zone.”
The Voice Norway’s official YouTube channel features performances from the blind auditions, battles, knockouts, and live shows. The current season, season 11, includes Jarle Bernhoft and Marion Ravn as mentors, according to the channel’s description.
Synne E. Mæland performed Helvegen (Wardruna) during blind auditions in 2025, as seen on YouTube. The current season’s blind auditions are ongoing, with new episodes expected to be released.
