Jeg er i en nordisk humør i nat

Inspired by my wonderful friend in Copenhagen - Caspar - I've been taking in a little Scandinavian pop lately. Currently listening to Djupa Andetag, a 1996 album by Anni-Frid Lyngstad (sigh, yes she was in Abba.) Here's Även en blomma:



OK, OK, all you pedants out there - she's singing in Swedish, not Danish. But I like it; she still has a wonderful voice.

I started listening to this before fully reading your post and thought that she really sounded like the chic from Abba... Duh.

Her voice is still very expressive and beautiful.

There's a couple of Norwegian vocalists that I really enjoy.

Try Silje Nergaard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJafNoROPZc

or Sidsel Endresen covering Leonard Cohen in her native tongue (her experimental stuff is a bit harder to digest).
