Pop singer Sigrid reveals where her latest album cover was shot

Norwegian pop star Sigrid has fans all over the world, including Elton John and Meghan Markle, and her music has been streamed more than 1.3 billion times. Her new album is out this month and she has revealed that the dramatic cover was shot in Wales.

It shows the singer dressed in red and standing on the roof of a E24 6-series BMW from the late 1970s or 80s with a dramatic backdrop of mountains in the background. The 25-year-old confirmed to Lorraine earlier this week that the picture for How to Let Go was shot in Snowdonia.

The singer said: "We drove to Snowdonia, and we shot it because I like to get as much nature in as possible, so I thought I would get a little hike in too." The new 12-track album was released on May 6 and includes songs Mirror and Burning Bridges.

The dramatic landscape of Snowdonia makes it a popular spot for photographers and film-makers. It has often been used to portray exotic locations including China and Kazakhstan in popular franchises like James Bond and computer-game-character-turned-action-star, Lara Croft.

In Tomb Raider, a 100ft drop down a cliff was filmed in the Alexandra Slate Quarry near Carmel, and a motorbike race was filmed at Pen Y Pass, which posed as the Great Wall of China, with a little help from CGI. James Bond's World is Not Enough was also filmed in the area.
