Stina NordenstamStina Nordenstam is a Swedish singer, songwriter and musician. Stina's distinctive, breathy voice lead to early comparisons with artists like Rickie Lee Jones and Bjrk. Her early albums, Memories Of A Colour and And She Closed Her Eyes were significantly jazz-influenced with only subtle elements of alternative rock. With 1997's Dynamite she started down a darker, more experimental path -- most of the album was filled over-processed distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique songwriting abilities, that challenge serious and daring listeners. An album of covers, People Are Strange, followed before she returned in 2001 with This Is Stina Nordenstam, an album with shorter songs and a poppier (but still highly distinctive) feel; Brett Anderson from Suede was featured a guest vocalist on two tracks. Her 2004 The World is Saved continues the path set on This is..., but presents a more realized sound and acknowledges her earlier jazz influences a bit more. In addition to being a musician, Nordenstam is also an accomplished artist in other fields, such as photography and music video directing. Slightly reclusive, she gives very few interviews and no live performances and alters her appearance using wigs and make-up for album covers and magazines, leading to a reputation as somewhat of an enigma. During the promotion for The World is Saved in 2004 she has been giving more interviews, and talked about a small possibility of future live performances. Albums - Memories of a Colour (1991)
