Tomine Harket (31) has started releasing music again, and on Friday she released the song “Kjendis” (Celebrity).
In the song, she confronts the celebrity industry, which she personally has little regard for.
She believes that there has become an overwhelming “rush” to become famous, and thinks that anyone can become well-known overnight in today’s society.
– Up and forward
In the lyrics of “Kjendis,” she sings among other things, “Powder in the nose like in Sophie’s picture,” likely referring to the photo Sophie Elise published where she and influencer colleague Nora Haukland held a bag, which received a lot of attention afterward.
– I mention her because she is an example of someone who seizes every opportunity to move up and forward. That’s the impression I have at least. No matter the cost. Same with whom you step on or if your values turn for the worse, Harket tells VG.
– Creating an unhealthy industry
Harket further justifies her statement by saying that it is “obvious that the 29-year-old makes choices that give her attention in the media – regardless of whether it is positive or negative.”
– And that’s totally fair. Really. But it contributes to creating an unhealthy industry, I believe. Where surgeries, appearance, money, who you sleep with, and status are the most important. Not what you create or achieve. And I’m only referring to her. Whether it’s a personal jab at her or not is up to the listener to interpret for themselves.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Music Industry Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome, everyone, to our exclusive interview! Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with music industry expert, Dr. Lisa Montgomery. With us, Dr. Montgomery has been closely following the evolving landscape of music and celebrity culture. Lisa, thank you for joining us!
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss the intersection of music and celebrity culture, especially with the recent release from Tomine Harket.
Time.news Editor: Absolutely! Tomine recently dropped her new track, “Kjendis,” where she candidly critiques the celebrity industry. What are your thoughts on her approach?
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Tomine’s approach is quite refreshing. In a time when many artists seem to chase celebrity status, she stands apart by openly expressing her disdain for the industry. It’s a bold move that resonates with listeners who may feel conflicted about celebrity culture.
Time.news Editor: I agree! Her past experiences have certainly shaped her perspective. Can you elaborate on how personal experiences influence an artist’s work, particularly in Tomine’s case?
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Personal experiences are often the lifeblood of an artist’s creativity. For Tomine, it seems her reflections on the celebrity industry stem from a desire for authenticity. Artists who navigate complex relationships with fame can produce some of the most impactful work. Her song “Kjendis” acts as a sort of self-reflection and critique, inviting listeners to rethink their own views on celebrity.
Time.news Editor: That’s a powerful point. Do you think Tomine’s perspective could influence other artists?
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Absolutely! When one artist takes a stand, it often inspires others to do the same. If Tomine gains traction with her anti-celebrity sentiment, it could embolden fellow musicians to address uncomfortable truths in their own art. We might see a shift towards more authentic storytelling, prioritizing personal values over the typical glitz and glamour.
Time.news Editor: It seems like there’s a growing demand for authenticity in music. How do you think audiences are reacting to this trend?
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Audiences are definitely craving authenticity more than ever. With the rise of social media and reality TV, people are yearning for genuine voices in an industry filled with curated personas. Tomine’s music taps into this sentiment, and I predict it will resonate with many who share her disillusionment with celebrity culture.
Time.news Editor: That’s certainly exciting for the music scene! Before we wrap up, Lisa, what are your predictions for the future of artists like Tomine who dare to challenge the status quo?
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: I think we’ll see a more diverse landscape where artists embrace vulnerability and challenge conventional norms. Those willing to critique the industry will not only shape their careers but also influence the next wave of musicians. It’s a turning point for authenticity in music, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Dr. Montgomery, for your insightful analysis! It’s clear that artists like Tomine Harket are paving the way for a more honest dialogue about the celebrity industry. We look forward to seeing how her message influences the music landscape.
Dr. Lisa Montgomery: Thank you for having me! It’s been a pleasure discussing this important topic with you.
Time.news Editor: And thank you to our audience for tuning in! We hope you join us next time for more engaging discussions about the world of music and culture.
