Fra Lippo Lippi is a Synth pop band originated in Norway. The band's name has been taken from Robert Browning's poem of the same name. The Norwegian band Fra Lippo Lippi swam in the depths of despair before diving into pop and jazz. Per Oystein Sorensen (vocals, synthesizer, keyboards), Rune Kristoffersen (guitar, bass, keyboards, piano), and Morten Sjoberg (drums, keyboards) formed Fra Lippo Lippi in 1978. Fra Lippo Lippi enveloped their first album, In Silence, with ominous bass lines, death-march percussion, pensive keyboards, and sinister, indecipherable vocals.

About
The band has released songs since the 80's. on of their famous ones was "Later". A contemporary sounding remix of "Shouldn´t Have To Be Like That" is released as a radio promo single in Norway. The remix is done by Henrik Njaa, one half of the very popular Norwegian duo Zuma A brand new Sørensen song, "Later" is recorded and made available to radio stations in the Philippines, where it goes high in several charts.
In 1985, Fra Lippo Lippi signed with Virgin Records in the U.K., releasing their third album, Songs. Fra Lippo Lippi jettisoned the gloom of their earlier efforts on Songs, experimenting with synth-pop and romantic balladry powered by Kristoffersen's piano. The transformation enabled the group to achieve minor chart success in England and Canada, but in the Philippines many of their singles became staples on the country's new wave radio stations.
