Could you recommend me Swedish singers/bands? I'm looking for some acoustic, lyrical,
melodic music with a clear vocal. Maybe my choice of adjectives is not very accurate (I usually struggle with describing music) but I mean something close to e.g. Herbert Grönemeyer, Grzegorz Turnau, Jeroen Van Der Boom, Xavier Naidoo (if you know any of these singers). (I have just listened to Kaizers Orchestra thanks to the thread with the best TL songs, and I love it... why am I not learning Norwegian ;)) Edited by Julie on 22 November 2012 at 1:37am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Is this something like what you're looking for?
LArs Winnerbäck & Miss LI - Om du lämnade mig nu Miss Li sings mostly in English, but you can find a lot of great lyrical Swedish songs by Winnerbäck. Here's maybe the most famous: Hum hum från Humlegården. It's a cover, but it's still his most famous. My personal favourite is Solen i ögonen, though it's less "acoustic", maybe. Other artists to try: Lisa Ekdal Säkert Veronica Maggio Maybe not the genre, but perhaps you'll like Timbuktu (it's in the Scania dialect, though, so maybe a bit hard to understand) And of course, check out our national troubarour Cornelis Vreeswijk Maybe possibly Nordman? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

search for "Garmarna" at youtube
modern interpretations of old folk songs you can also find several interpretations of "flickan och kråkan" on youtube ... seems to be in your range of music Edited by daegga on 22 November 2012 at 12:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you for all your suggestions! If you have any more ideas, I would very much
appreciate it: I want to find something I would really fall in love with, and love is complicated ;). So far, I've enjoyed Lisa Ekdahl and Timbuktu most. "Om du lämnade mig nu" is quite close to what I'm looking for, indeed. Less lyrical would work too. I have to give Lars Winnerbäck another try: I found him before and didn't really like his music; I might have chosen all the wrong songs, though. I'm definitely going to listen a bit more to Cornelis Vreeswijk, too. Haven't found anything I would really love yet but I generally like this kind of music. (By the way, if you're ever looking for something of this kind in Swiss German, Mani Matter is great!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I really like Cornelis vs Riedel, which is an album of previously unrecorded Vreeswijk texts set to the compositions of jazz bassist Georg Riedel and sung by his daughter, Sarah Riedel, and Nicolai Dugner. Here are two of the songs: 1, 2. The rest can be found on Spotify, if I'm not mistaken. I should mention that there are several more cheerful songs on the album, as well. :-)

Thank you so much! I liked especially Thåström and Cornelis vs Riedel (which is so
amazing and almost hypnotizing! - I'm looking forward to the more cheerful songs as well). If you have any more ideas, please share. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It does not exactly fit your description but this is my favourite Swedish band, maybe you'll enjoy it.
