An introspective masterpiece in which whispering voices and quiet spaces reflect the cold light of Scandinavia
This second album, which includes the signature song "Little Star," features whispery voices and a jazz-influenced arrangement that creates a soft texture, creating a unique world where Nordic tranquility and personal stories overlap.
This album most succinctly illustrates the solitary worldview that Stina Nordenstam has established. Her whispering voice blends in as if it were part of the instruments, and the soft sound incorporating elements of jazz and ambient creates a quiet expanse. Her signature track, "Little Star," features the memorable soft melody known from the film "Romeo + Juliet," and the acoustic-based arrangement highlights the fragility of her voice. In "Crime," Jon Hassell's trumpet adds deep shadows, creating a unique scene somewhere between Nordic coldness and warmth. In contrast to flashy pop, this is a masterpiece of alternative pop that symbolizes the 90s, with an artistry centered on tranquility and introspection.
