Lisa


"Lisa Ekdahl's When Did You Leave Heaven was a big seller in Sweden, but the album received its share of negative reviews from American jazz critics, who felt that Ekdahl's thin, very girlish voice was wrong for standards and straight-ahead jazz", this site informs us. American critics may hate it, I luuuuuurve thin, very girlish voices, especially from girls who look like Lisa. Her cover of Björk's It's Oh So Quiet was used for a Cacharel-commercial, and my introduction to this Swedish singer. Didn't know she recorded a French tune, until Natacha send me L'Aurore, from her Sings Salvadore Poe-album (2001). Salvadore is her Newyork husband, by the way. Last February her most recent (and English) album came out, Back to Earth. No French song in sight, alas. S'il vous plait, Lisa, encore une fois?

Lisa Ekdahl - L'Aurore (fixed!)

  1. Dude, this particular song won't download anymore, even though some of the earlier posts still work.
    Anyways, I think it's fabulous that someone is as devoted to French whispering as I am.
    Hell yes.
