The new single En Ny Tid (A New Time)<\/em> is the first taste of Helen’s upcoming album \u2013 her first solo album with newly written original materials.<\/p>\n The song is written by Paulina Palmgren and is dynamic with an acoustic airiness and Helen’s heartfelt vocals in focus. The lyrics contains warm nostalgia, but is also an offshoot into the future. Another single; Jag \u00e4r elden (I\u00b4m the Fire)<\/em>, was released on August 21. <\/p>\n This is Helen’s first solo album with completely new material. Why did it take so long?<\/p>\n \u2013 I\u00b4m basically a live artist and the studio has not been my natural home, she laughs. I\u00b4m passionate about and have always loved the theater: to sing from a story that is clear, or from a character. I\u00b4ve also ended up in so many exciting contexts that the search for my own material has had to wait.<\/p>\n Perhaps she has also over-dramatized the importance of a solo album.<\/p>\n \u2013 I\u00b4ve felt that it has to formulate “who I am”. That is true to a certain extent, but a record is also an imprint in time and right now it is these songs that I am. Lately I’ve been longing to make an album in my own name!<\/p>\n Several songwriters have contributed material, whereupon Helen thought, felt, and thinned. The most intimate collaboration has been with Paulina Palmgren and Jonatan J\u00e4rpehag, who have contributed the most songs. Among other songwriters are Anna Ternheim and Andreas Mattsson.<\/p>\n The album is produced by Andreas Dahlb\u00e4ck and Jonatan J\u00e4rpehag and will be released on September 25.<\/p>\n
\nMusicians are Ola Gustavsson, Jerker Odelholm, Julia Stjernl\u00f6f and Klas Jervfors Turner.<\/p>\nEn ny tid<\/h5>\n
