STINA NORDSTRÖM – Skugga i din pupill (Alternativ, 1978)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: **

Singer/songwriter Stina Nordström made her recording debut in 1970 with an album of children's songs together with three other singers. Her first album, loaded with nature symbolism and credited entirely to herself came in 1978 on Alternativ, best known for releasing a series of fine Kjell Höglund albums. ”Skugga i din pupill” isn't very good, largely because her vocal style is that of a tickled Turid with an over-affected nervous shiver to her voice. A whole album with that kind of singing is nerve-grating to say the least. But the fir forest folksy ”Vildöga, grönöga” is actually so good you can endure Nordström's caterwauling for a couple of minutes.
