What are you listening to, Nina?

There are some artists, that just create magic, what ever they touch. Nina Persson is one of those artists.
Listening to those Cardigans albums, with her exquisite voice all over them, it kind of makes you feel that this is something that will last for a long long time. It is timeless, and beautiful Swedish pop music. The song ”Lovefool” topped lists all over the world in the middle of the nineties, and for a good reason. The last album from the band, Super Extra Gravity was no exception. Great pop, as it should be.
Her musical career is astounding and amazing in many ways, just ponder that A Camp is her next step, away from the band. Strong, independent pop music, with magical tunes and harmonies. And then the lyrics on top.
Her last project, a movie and concerts, ”Jag är min egen Dolly Parton (I am my own Dolly Parton)” where an ensemble performs Dolly Parton songs, is something for all Dolly fans, and great stories of women of today.
