That you come home and wonder what happened. Was I just trapped in a room with hundreds of others and was fed with hits, turns, pressure, swing, endless tones, riffs, solos? Yes, but what happens next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Already in the toilet queue after the concert, I hear someone plays a mobile movie&nbsp;of the last song and it strikes me that this evening has given energy, memory images full of energy, which hundreds of people will pick forward when they need to.<\/p>\n<p>It\u00b4s extremely well-produced, dramaturgically conceived, planned interlude. Everything is a slap in the face (&#8230;) Otherwise there is nothing to complain about with Ola Gustavsson, guitar, Andreas Dahlb\u00e4ck, percussion, Martin H\u00f6per, bass, Rickard Nilsson, keyboard and Erik Arvinder on violin and lots more (&#8230;) but it\u00b4s at least broken up by the concert&#8217;s second song <em>Armarna som lyfter dig (The Arms That Lift You Up)<\/em>, which is also the best of the evening. A song about sisterhood, about being bumped and soaked and still standing united. As the third song, the audience is invited to one of Sj\u00f6holm&#8217;s biggest hits <em>Du \u00e4r min man (You Are My Man)<\/em> and the audience bursts into cheers.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to be charmed by Sj\u00f6holm, her facial expressions, her way of looking at the audience and making you think that it&#8217;s really just you she&#8217;s looking at. But it\u00b4s also the lyrics, all everyday life that is inscribed that make so many feel at home. And she\u00b4s a narrator of rank, every single word comes out and that without it restricting the musical skill. How can you sing so crystal clear?<\/p>\n<p>The song from the set of <em>Aniara<\/em> stands out a bit, and it&#8217;s nice that something stands out (&#8230;) Otherwise, the audience really gets what they hoped for, <em>Gabriella&#8217;s song<\/em>, <em>Du m\u00e5ste finnas (You Have To Be There)<\/em> and several of the interpretations from the TV show <em>S\u00e5 mycket b\u00e4ttre (So much better).<\/em> Well worth mentioning is also Mikael Wiehe&#8217;s translation of Bob Dylan&#8217;s <em>To Make You Feel My Love.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It really is an evening filled with love, standing ovations and memory saved on mobiles.<\/p>\n<p><em>(The full review is not reproduced for copyright reasons)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Reviews 2021\" href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2021\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sm\u00e5landsposten 2021-11-15 By: STINA TOBIASSON Concert Helen Sj\u00f6holm &#8211; En ny tid (A New Time) What: Helen Sj\u00f6holm En ny tid Where: V\u00e4xj\u00f6 Concert Hall, <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2021\/easy-to-be-charmed-by-helen-sjoholm\/\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":11281,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11302","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11302\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
