BirGitta Edström - En morgon

Review by Niels Verwaal

En morgon by BirGitta Edström is a stunning album that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and versatility. The album features a mix of traditional Swedish folk songs, original compositions, and contemporary covers, all of which are delivered with Edström's signature emotive vocals and masterful instrumental skills.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Vaggvisa för min son" to the upbeat and catchy "Låt oss sjunga" and the soulful rendition of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me," En morgon is a captivating journey through different moods and styles. The arrangements are intricate and layered, incorporating a wide range of instruments such as guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and accordion, among others.

What sets En morgon apart from other folk albums is the depth and sincerity of Edström's performance. She doesn't just sing the songs; she inhabits them, conveying a sense of genuine emotion and connection to the material. Whether she's conveying the joys of love and companionship or the pains of loss and longing, she does so with a rawness and authenticity that is truly moving.
