Stockholm's Stina Nordenstam brings an intimacy to her music, singing in soft tones that sometimes near a whisper over restrained accompaniment. The singer debuted in the '90s with Memories of a Color, a gorgeously textured collection of jazz-leaning, mellow dream-pop perfect for a cold day or candlelit night. Her third album, Dynamite, turns up the intensity and slows down the tempo with alt-rock meditations and ethereal sounds. Nordenstam's delicate vocals blend mellifluously with her emotive compositions to create powerful but delicate music evoking wistful contemplation.
