Since her teens, singer and producer Cornelia Dahlgren has dabbled in various areas of music, from jazz to mainstream pop, with a number of bands back in her native Sweden, but it was with her solo work that she found a sound and voice of her own, remaining firmly in the field of pop but sidestepping mainstream sounds for something altogether more satisfying.
She released her debut solo EP, ‘Capsule’, in 2007 via her own label, Camp Mozart, which spanned everything from leftfield electronica to funk across its four tracks. In the following years, she worked on various music and film projects, before being convinced to relocate to London by fellow off-kilter pop star Jamie Woon in 2010, which led her to focus on her solo work once again.
Last month she released a new double A-side single, featuring the tracks ‘By The Fire’ and ‘Now And Hereafter’. Both tracks place her soft, sweet, very Swedish vocals over upbeat electronic tracks co-produced with Kwes and Utters. You can listen to both tracks, plus excellent remixes of ‘Now And Hereafter’ by Daisuke Tanabe and Tokimonsta at the link below, and catch Cornelia live at The Nest in London tomorrow night.
