I’ve wanted to write about this wonderful woman for a while now, ever since I saw her live for the very first time: last summer at the Malmö Festivalen when I barely knew who she was. But I just never could find the time to write.
Anyways, this pretty 26 years-old swedish song-writer will blow you away, first when you listen carefully to her record, and then when you go see her live (she’s going to be busy this spring, touring). Her first demos caught the attention of the Cardigans’s singer, who kindly signed her on her own Stockholm Records and released her album in Sweden in 2003. Then followed some shows in the mother land; the people of sweden and the national press all fell in love with her cute and melancolic songs. In 2005, she played a few shows abroad, got signed to Universal and released her album in Europe three days ago.
The album is called “Somebody Outside” and it’s really good. Probably the best thing I’ve heard from Sweden last year. And then when you go see her live, you are freezed by her charming voice and her pretty songs. She either plays with a band (friends mostly) or by herself. She is a very “solitaire” person so maybe you should listen to her record by yourself as well, to feel her music a little better.
Stream a few songs and amazing videos on her website and check when she’s coming near you !
