She has pointed to vocal confidence as the condition that made the project possible now. The song selection spans her entire catalog, from her 2002 debut to the present day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe album title reflects the premise of the release. Where a compilation usually sums up a career, this is rather a record about how the songs have changed for the person who wrote them. \u003ci\u003e“The songs may be the same, but the words mean something else now,”\u003c\/i\u003e as she has put it herself. The material is largely honest and autobiographical, written at a young age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe first single from the live album was “My Lullaby,” Mena's 2002 debut. She wrote it at the age of eleven, about her parents’ divorce. In the live version it is performed by an artist who has since become a mother herself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe concerts were also filmed. The album is available digitally and as a double LP with photography by Pål Laukli. In the fall of 2026, the release is followed by her largest Norwegian tour to date.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMMO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43211282251870,"sku":"19958472012","price":249.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/6752\/3422\/files\/7abad015-a3fd-4416-b97e-736932439261.webp?v=1787647681","url":"https:\/\/emmo.no\/en\/products\/maria-mena-perspective-best-of-the-live-sessions-from-oslo-concert-house","provider":"EMMO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
