Virkelig is an evocative band hailing from Northern Norway, specifically known for their emotionally charged lyrics and melodies that resonate with the complexities of youth and human emotions. Their artistic journey weaves through the fabric of Nordic melancholy, with a distinctive approach to storytelling through music—often reflecting on themes of love, existential angst, and the search for identity in the modern world.

Although specific details about their formation and member's background are not universally recognized, their recent work has solidified their presence in the Norwegian music scene. Their songs are characterized by heartfelt vocals, often set against a blend of indie rock sensibilities and somber pop elements. Virkelig's music captures the growing pains of transitioning through life's stages, as perfectly encapsulated in tracks like "For ung til å vær trist" which translates to "Too Young to Be Sad," and "Promillekyss på en tirsdag," hinting at bittersweet encounters. Their single "Du treng en venn" or "You Need a Friend" showcases their ability to tap into the need for companionship and support, making Virkelig not just musicians, but also empaths voicing the underlying narratives of contemporary youth.
