Three years after her 2008 Grammy-winning record
Cause and Effect, Norwegian pop singer
Maria Mena released her fifth studio album,
Viktoria (
Mena's middle name, after her great-grandmother). Throughout the 11 tracks,
Mena presents mostly quiet, melancholy ballads with a few darker moments and some uptempo numbers. The album, which was produced by
Martin Sjølie and features Danish singer/songwriter
Mads Langer as a guest on the track "Habits," entered the Norwegian charts at number five and peaked at number two a week later.
