Stina Nordenstam - The World Is Saved *

Artist:

Nordenstam, Stina

Description:

Breathy Swedish chanteuse Stina Nordenstam draws on jazz, electronica, post rock, smooth, sultry lounge, and the confessional singer/songwriter tradition to create unique, beautiful pop music. THE WORLD IS SAVED, the follow-up to Nordenstam`s critically lauded THIS IS STINA NORDENSTAM, brings together many of the elements that seemed to be at odds on the artist`s previous efforts. Winding, immediately disarming melodies are cloaked in breezy orchestral pop, shuffling, downtempo trip-hop, warm soul-jazz grooves, and intimate chamber pieces here.
While this may sound on paper like a stylistic mash-up, THE WORLD IS SAVED is remarkably cohesive. Shot through with a plaintive melancholy that almost demands the album be listened to alone, on a rainy night, while gazing out the window. It has the shiny accessibility that made THIS IS so enjoyable, but is moodier, more sophisticated, and ultimately, more deeply affecting . At the center of this impact, of course, are Nordenstam`s poetic lyrics and her voice, which is frail, ethereal, and capable of breaking an unsuspecting listener`s heart.
