April 08: Unni sings in movie
The #1 most seen movie in Norwegian Cinemas at the moment is 'Lange Flate Ballær 2', directed by Harald Zwart. Don Johnson is starring in the film, and Unni sings a song called 'Never Saw Blue Like That Before', during the key scene towards the end of the movie. Last time this song appeared in a movie was when Shawn Colvin did her version in 'Runaway Bride', starring Julia Roberts. Due to legal rights (the song is a cover song), this track is not included in the sound track CD from the film.

Respect our work. Go to concerts. Pay for the music you end up listening to. No big record company is paying for or making profits on my music. Just me and my savings, trying to make it work. What you hear is what you get.
