Beginning January 29, 2011<\/strong>, Helen went on tour with the material from her latest album; Euforia – Helen Sj\u00f6holm sjunger Billy Joel<\/em><\/a>. The Euforia tour ended in Lule\u00e5 on the 14th of April. But also the summer was spent on tour, this time with BAO, who released a new album on June 15; O klang och jubeltid<\/em><\/a>. The single K\u00e4ra syster<\/em>, where Helen does the vocals, was released in mid-May. In December also Allt syns n\u00e4r man \u00e4r naken<\/em> was released as a single.<\/p>\n

On December 9 the movie Simon and the Oaks<\/em><\/a> premiered. The movie itself was greated with mixed reviews, but Helen was consistently raved:<\/p>\n

\u201dThe absolute star of the movie. We\u2019re so predisposed to hear her sing that we easily forget her capacity as an actress. Here she doesn\u2019t sing one earnest note but expresses every nuance of the mother Karin\u2019s good-hearted character.\u201d
\nBernt Eklund, Expressen<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201dHelen Sj\u00f6holm plays the part of Simon\u2019s mother Karin and her love for her son can be felt far into the theater. So does the pain, when everything goes wrong and she can\u2019t reach him…\u201d

\u201c…Singer Helen Sj\u00f6holm, incredibly phenomenal as the title role Simon\u2019s mother.\u201d

\u201cSj\u00f6holm excels. Best on the scene is Helen Sj\u00f6holm who creates a great bitter distress in all simplicity…\u201d
\nTorsten Braf, Katrineholms-Kuriren<\/em><\/p>\n

“Sj\u00f6holm, G\u00f6dicke and Leifers are incredibly good as the parents.\u201d
\nJan-Olov Andersson, Aftonbladet <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Helen Sj\u00f6holm, I say no more than Helen Sj\u00f6holm, who not only a singer of class. She\u2019s a brilliant character actress as well. Though we saw that already in \u201cAs it is in heaven\u201d seven years ago. Guldbaggar awaits.\u201d
\nStefan Andersson, Gefle Dagblad <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut above all it\u2019s Helen Sj\u00f6holm and Stefan G\u00f6dicke as Simon\u2019s parents, as well as Jan Josef Liefers as Isak\u2019s father Ruben, who lay the foundation of brilliant human portraits.\u201d

Helen was nominated for a Guldbagge [Swedish version of the Oscar\u2019s] in the category Best Actress in a leading role. The gala, to which Helen was present, was broadcasted live on January 23, 2012, but she didn\u2019t win.<\/p>\n

For most of 2012<\/strong>, Helen was on parental leave with twins Samuel and Johanna, that she and her husband David had at the end of December 2011.<\/p>\n

In August, she participated in a summer gig with BAO at Vaksala Square in Uppsala. In a grand ceremony on October 12 Helen was appointed an honorary doctorate <\/a>at Mid University, for her work in the cultural field. In November and December she performed at a few smaller events, such as Lucia Morning in SVT2 along with Benny Andersson, where she sang newly written Vinterhamn<\/em> from BAO’s Christmas CD Tomten har \u00e5kt hem<\/em><\/a> (Santa has gone home<\/em>), which was released in November.<\/p>\n

Another CD Helen has been involved in, and which was released at the sametime, is Det kunde lika g\u00e4rna vara jag – en salig samling s\u00e5ngerskor<\/em><\/a> (It could just as easily have been me – a glorious collection of singers<\/em>); a CD released in conjunction with the Salvation Army, to help the homeless.<\/p>\n

Helen continued her parental leave until the end of April 2013, with the exception of when Sundsvall Orchestra Association celebrated its 100th anniversary in February and she was a guest artist together with Anna Stadling. In late spring concerts in different constellations and at different places around the country took place, for example with Magnus Carlsson and G\u00e4vle Symphony Orchestra in newly written arrangements for 70 – and 80’s songs.<\/p>\n

The summer began with traditional concerts, seven in total, along with Martin and Jojje, and shortly afterwards the BAO tour started. Eight concerts from Helsingborg in the south to Pite\u00e5 in the north, and the reviewers were lyrical:<\/p>\n

Aftonbladet’s Jens Peterson writes “Helen Sj\u00f6holm is fantastic and makes the evergreen chart topper sound new. She is superb in everything at the premiere.” “Helen Sj\u00f6holm is a unique kind and she sings the songs like no one else could”, Tommy Granlund from \u00d6stran\/Nyheterna praises after the Kalmar concert.<\/p>\n

In late September, Helen was a guest at Peter J\u00f6back’s tour I Love Musicals – The Broadway Edition<\/em> in the two initial concerts in \u00d6rnsk\u00f6ldsvik and Lule\u00e5. After that her own autumn tour started, where she together with Martin \u00d6stergren, Jojje Wadenius, Ulric Johansson and Tomas Bergquist during October gave twelve concerts with a mixed program all around Sweden. In November and December Helen starred in the corporate event Stj\u00e4rnklart<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2014<\/strong> the autumn concert tour continued, with a partly renewed progam. Helen also appeared in Top Lunch<\/em> at Katalin in Uppsala in April, together with among others Jacke Sj\u00f6din. In May she sang with choirs in Sundsvall, Karlstad and Lule\u00e5, before the first rehearsals of the autumn’s upcoming musical premiere begun. In Life is a Schlager<\/em><\/a>, a new musical by Jonas Gardell, she played the part of Mona, mother of four, and it premiered on September 11 at Cirkus in Stockholm. The music was written by Fredrik Kempe and the other main roles were played by Peter J\u00f6back, Johan Glans, Jonas Helgesson, M\u00e5ns M\u00f6ller, Katarina Ewerl\u00f6f, My Holmsten and Frida Westerdahl. The musicals was played until the end of May the following year.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2014 Helen was appointed ambassador for The Vi forest<\/a> and in May 2015 she took part in the concert Pengarna \u00e5t skogen<\/em> (Money to the forest<\/em>), by the same organisation. During the summer she went on a tour called Musik i sommarkv\u00e4ll<\/em> (Music in the summer evening<\/em>) together with Martin \u00d6stergren, Jojje Wadenius, Ulric Johansson and Tomas Bergquist. In addition she also gave three concerts with the Sj\u00f6backa choir in Skillinge and she was the soloist at the DN concert Filharmonikerna i det gr\u00f6na<\/em> (The Philharmonic Orchestra in the green<\/em>) at the Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n

In the autumn she toured with Peter J\u00f6back in I Love Musicals<\/em>, which visited 10 major venues around Sweden, as well as Oslo and Helsinki. At the end of the year she, along with Anders Widmark, gave the tour Midwinter<\/em> and she also participated in Malm\u00f6 Fire Brigades’s traditional Christmas show.<\/p>\n
