Songs from a Blackbird (2014)

Songs from a Blackbird is the second studio album by Norwegian singer-songwriter Marion Raven (credited as Marion Ravn), first released in Norway on April 5, 2013. This album marks her first release in six years since 2007's Set Me Free and her first studio album in eight years composed entirely of brand new songs since 2005's Here I Am. Songs from a Blackbird also showcased Marion's musical transition from her past hard rock style into a softer folk-rock music.

Her music transition received mixed reaction especially from fans. Some condemned her for leaving behind her hard-rock style, while some praised her for making an effort to regain her album sales in Norway. Artists like Thom Hell and Lisa Miskovsky made duets with Raven in this album. Songs from a Blackbird peaked at No. 3 on the Norwegian charts.

In order to promote the album, Raven embarked on a nationwide Norwegian tour. Other than performing her new tracks during the concert, Raven also performed her previous tracks but rearranged the music with a more folk-rock touch.
