If you missed the video “Autumn in New York” which was on efvaattling.com till some days ago, and which featured a song by Eva, don’t worry. Somebody has uploaded it to YouTube for all to enjoy. And don’t forget the listen to the latest video “Nina and Nathan” on efvaattling.com, Eva’s music is on it as well.
Mija Folkesson’s band Orkesterpop has been nominated to the Grammis for the Children Album of the Year with “Räkna med Skägg”. Now she needs your help: vote here!
I got to interview Jonas Isacsson, who was a long time guitar player in Eva’s albums and tours back in the 80-ies and until “En blekt blondins hjärta”. He explained some interesting things about Eva Dahlgren as well. You can read about it here.
Eva Dahlgren and Efva Attling got married today in Hotel Rival, Stockholm. Following this link you’ll find a video with messages from different VIPs wishing them the best.
If you visit efvaattling.com and click on “Autumn in New York”, you will not only enjoy a video shoot in New York with Efva Attling jewels, but you’ll be able to enjoy a brand new? song by Eva Dahlgren, in English.
I am not sure if the song is new or not, will try to find out. Some parts of it remind me of “Ängeln i rummet”, at least the meaning behind it, but it isn’t the English version of this song either. And the music is new to my ears too. Maybe you know more about it, just post it in the comments!
[Update]: Eva has confirmed this is a new song she did for Efva’s website.
Efva Attling presented her jewels in Barcelona last October 14th. The event took place in the store Snö, which will sell her jewels from now on. Can’t believe one can now buy Attling jewels in my homeland Catalonia!
Here are some pictures of the event. The first two pictures are taken from Efva’s agent website, the last one from Maria Agrell blog.
Last august A&R Lars “Billy” Hansson and producer Lars Halapi gathered some of Sweden’s, of course including Eva Dahlgren, and Norway’s biggest artists together to interpret Leonard Cohen’s work. The artists sang the songs live together with an orchestra at Radiohuset in Stockholm. The result can be hart in “Cohen – The Scandinavian Report” which is out on September 30th.
This recording was photographed by Anna-Lena Ahlström and filmed by Emanuel Danneman, who will show their work in an exhibition at Lydmar Hotell in Stockholm. The exhibition opens on September 29th and is available for one week.
You can also find a longer version of the album’s promo video on YouTube. Of course, with Eva!
A Myspace website is now available for the tribute album “Cohen – The Scandinavian report”. Unfortunately, there is no pre-listen available for the song Eva performs, but you’ll find a picture of her on the page.
Update: Eva’s song snippet is on myspace now. Enjoy! It sounds incredible
I used to have a video of Eva performing “Jorden är ett litet rum”, for what I remember she was sitting in a room, on a chair, with children sitting in front of them on the floor. There were candles all around. I think the performance was from 1996 and was recorded/broadcast in December around Lucia’s. I unfortunately cannot find this performance anymore.
I would appreciate if anybody who has it could share it
Thanks!
