This Swedish singer's "little girl" voice and phrasing reminded me of none other than Billie Holiday, perfectly blended with a trio of musicians I've not heard of before (Peter Nordahl, Ronnie Gardiner, Patrick Boman), but whose other work I will snap up immediately.

Fantastic. It's one of the few albums I've heard recently that immediately grabbed me. I was just walking through a store where they were playing it and it evoked such a mood I had to ask about it. This is something I very rarely ever do because most music you hear in stores is just background noise, but this was different. It's so sad and fun that I never get tired of hearing it. For some reason it seems to make a great "holiday" (ie. Xmas) CD, even though it has nothing to do with that. I really think you can't go wrong with this and I also recommend her other English-language CD, "When Did You Leave Heaven?". I hear the Swedish stuff is also good but I have not heard it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely enchanting. . .., October 22, 1999

Lisa's singing style changed dramatically for her jazz albums compared to her solo Swedish albums, and I loved every second of it. Her expressiveness is moving, and her ability to convey mood and emotion had me spell-bound. Truely an angel in disguise. . .. The arrangements by the Peter Nordahl Trio are delightful, and there's some very innovative piano work to entertain inbetween Lisa's lovely vocals. Thank god I discovered her at a listening station in Towers. I would hate to think I could've missed out on such an incredible talent!
