The audience got to hear both \u201cDu m\u00e5ste finnas\u201d and \u201cDu \u00e4r min man\u201d, but Helen Sj\u00f6holm is so much more than a musical artist and singer in BAO. That she showed at the concert in front of a crowded De Geer Hall on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Sj\u00f6holm moves effortlessly between folk songs and ballads, jazz and blues, pop and rock, and she interprets everything in the same skillfully way. To say that she belongs to the top tier of Swedish singers is no exaggeration. Additionally she has the ability to, without any bigger fuss, interpret each piece so that it becomes a story, a story that convinces and affects.<\/p>\n
The concert featured both old and familiar songs, as well as new and rarely performed. Among the new things were a taste of the upcoming musical \u201cLivet \u00e4r en schlager\u201d, while the British folk singer Judee Sill\u2019s beautiful \u201dThe Kiss\u201d was one of the more rare gems.<\/p>\n
A plunge into the Swedish song jewels has resulted in swinging versions of \u201dV\u00e5rvindar friska\u201d and \u201dH\u00e4r \u00e4r Gudagott att vara\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sj\u00f6holm returned several times to Billy Joel, in Tomas Andersson Wij\u2019s Swedish translations. The songs get a new dimension in her interpretations. Joni Mitchell is another favorite that Sj\u00f6holm highlights.<\/p>\n
She brings four musicians, who accompany pliable, whistle, sing harmonies and support and complement Sj\u00f6holm\u2019s nice voice. Everyone is extremely skilful, but Jojje Wadenius shines a little extra bit on guitar. The musicians also serve us some instrumental tracks.<\/p>\n
With such a broad program, there is a risk that the whole feels a bit sprawling. There are abrupt shifts now and then. Like when a magical instrumental track from Peter Pan is followed by the swinging \u201dVeronica\u201d, written by Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney. Or when \u201dGabriella\u2019s s\u00e5ng\u201d *<\/strong> quickly turns into a rock ballad by Depeche Mode.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not very often Sj\u00f6holm shows her comedic talent. But here it glimpses, both in fun small talk between songs and in the subtly sly encore \u201cK\u00e5ta Maja\u201d.
