Lotte Lee — Kristi Charlotte Lee — is a Norwegian alt-pop artist raised in the Philippines and now based in Oslo. Her newest single, 'Jeg vi'kke gi opp' ('I Won't Give Up'), is out now via MüsLee Records.
Manila to Oslo
Raised on the Philippines, Lotte Lee has spent the last several years building a life — and a following — in Oslo, Norway.
Her catalogue trades in resilience, heartbreak, and self-reckoning, from 'Let Me Go' to 'How Deep,' continuing through 2025's 'Caught In a Daydream' and now 'Jeg vi'kke gi opp.'
Found on Urørt
Lotte Lee's music found its first devoted audience through NRK P3 Urørt, where a string of emotionally direct, melodically rich singles began building the following that carries her work today.
'Jeg vi'kke gi opp' is her most stubbornly hopeful statement yet — a title that reads less like a slogan and more like a promise made to herself at 2am.
This song is for anyone who's tired but still standing. I wrote it because I needed to hear it myself.
Between the Espresso Machine and the Road
For the last several years, Lotte Lee has worked coffee bars on both the east and west sides of Norway — the exact life her songs come from, written between the landeveien and the espresso machine.
That duality gave rise to The Palate Cleanser Tour, which travels along the west coast to the very coffee bars where the songs were written, including stops in Sandnes, Stavanger, Haugesund, and Bergen.
