Info for Grand Songs



After more than 20 years of career, 2 million albums sold and 200 million streams on platforms, the Swedish singer with the unique vocal signature releases an album with English covers of great songs pop of yesterday and today: Grand Songs.

The choice of songs is a message in itself. It's a time machine, reflecting the dizzying abundance of the digital age. A secret advantage of covers is also to modestly send very personal messages, through the words of another. "This is true for me as it is for any listener. If a song touches you deeply, it's often because it offers expression to intimate feelings", Lisa explains.

Upon arrival, "Grand Songs" is a very interesting step in Lisa's musical journey. Charming, tender, surprising... Her versions of Billie Eilish or Beyoncé show that she can connect with the most contemporary pop, while remaining faithful to her style.

Grand Songs turns out to be dreamlike, poetic and timeless, Jazzy with a pinch of Soul and Folk. The quintessential 'Feel Good' album!

Lisa Ekdahl, vocals



Lisa Ekdahl
is a Swedish star whose understated voice is perfectly suited to the standards – the Express evoked 'sultry, laidback bossanova at its coolest and grooviest' – but she can certainly let rip when she wants to – 'Can white girls sing the blues? This one can!' (The Independent).

She’s toured the world, and now plays a very rare London show, including material from her new Sony album More of the Good.

n the winter of 1994 Lisa Ekdahl was brought into superstardom over night in Scandinavia. Lisa’s debut album sold quadruple platinum and gave her three grammy awards. Her laid back style, matched with her fragility and sensitivity has dazzled fans and critics alike.

Several European countries and especially France has fallen for her understated way of performing jazz standards, bossanova and original songs.

Lisa got her first record deal with EMI when she was hired by singer/songwriter Toni Holgersson to sing background vocals on his album. The background singing didn’t turn out well but instead Lisa was discovered by EMI’s head of A&R and offered to make her own record, which became the debut album “Lisa Ekdahl” (EMI).

At the age of 19 Lisa Ekdahl started to perform in small jazz clubs with swedish jazz trio “The Peter Nordahl trio”. Lisa has sometimes referred to the years playing smaller clubs with this great trio as a form or “musical education.”

Lisa & the trio played a series of concerts at club La Villa in the Saint Germain area of Paris which was the starting point for Lisa’s career in France. Lisa Ekdahl & Peter Nordahl Trio released two albums together: “When did you leave Heaven” & “Back to earth”.

In 2001 Lisa released the bossa nova album “Lisa Ekdahl sings Salvadore Poe”. The album gained a lot of appreciation in several european countries, especially in France where the album sold gold.

After living in NYC for some time Lisa went back to Stockholm to record the 9 original compositions for “Give me that slow knowing smile”, released in 2009 by Sony Music France. The album was released in 14 countries.
