Tundra is the debut solo studio album by Norwegian singer Anneli Drecker, released on 27 March 2000 by EMI. [1] [2]
Tundra gives an excursion into a more diverse soundscape within the genres electronica and rock. After the international efforts of Bel Canto stranded in the second half of the 1990s, it seems quite natural that she start a solo career. [1] [2]
