During the blind auditions of The Voice Norway 2025, Mikael Johansen delivered a deeply emotional and powerful rendition of SYML’s “Where’s My Love” that immediately caught the attention of both the audience and coaches. His voice carried a raw vulnerability that resonated with viewers, showcasing not only technical skill but also an authentic emotional connection to the song.
Airing as part of Episode 4 on January 24, Johansen’s performance stood out in a strong lineup of hopefuls. His interpretation of the indie-pop ballad led to chair turns and ultimately landed him a place on the team of singer-songwriter Eva Weel Skram, one of the new coaches for the season. Skram, along with Gabrielle Leithaug, joined returning mentors Espen Lind and Yosef Wolde-Mariam for this year’s tenth season.
The Voice Norway 2025 kicked off on January 3 and concluded on May 23 with Andrea Holm winning the season. Throughout the competition, Mikael Johansen was praised for his emotional authenticity and vocal artistry, beginning with that haunting first impression.
His performance can now be streamed on music platforms like Apple Music and Anghami, where fans have continued to support his journey.
