About Stina Nordenstam
Stina Nordenstam [born Kristina Marianne Nordenstam March 4, 1969, Stockholm, Sweden] is a singer-songwriter.
Nordenstam's distinctive, breathy voice lead to early comparisons with artists such as Rickie Lee Jones and Björk. The year of 1991 she played before the Swedish parliament because the reigning parties had decided 1991 to be the year of the jazz. Her early albums, Memories of a Color 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 with processed, distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique songwriting abilities. 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 more pop-like (but still highly distinctive) feel; ex-Suede vocalist Brett Anderson featured on two tracks. In 2003 she appeared on a duet with Jonas Bjerre from Mew on Mew's third album 'Frengers' with a song titled 'Her Voice is Beyond Her Years'. Somewhere between 2003-2004 she made the Swedish radio-theater series called the Fears of the ice. It's about one of the first polar-expeditions.
Her 2004 album, The World is Saved, continues the path set on This Is..., but presents a more realized sound and acknowledges her earlier jazz influences 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, rarely performs live and even alters her appearance using wigs and make-up for album covers and magazines. During the promotion for The World Is Saved, however, she gave more interviews than usual and even talked about the possibility of future live performances.
A French magazine has said that it was as difficult to interview her as opening frozen oysters with boxing-gloves.
In 2006, Nordenstam appeared in Snow Borne Sorrow - an album by the band Nine Horses singing songs-duets with the band's vocalist David Sylvian.
