Livet Nord har toured the world with a wide range of ensembles, appeared in a sizable number of dance and theater productions in addition to being featured on at least sixty albums. In 2015, she had the distinction of being “Artist of the Year” at Sweden’s Folk and World Music Gala. And now Livet Nord is dropping her first solo album, Paperbird, brimming with musical influences from all over the globe and backed up by prominent musicians. The compositions certainly reflect aspects from Livet’s eclectic musical background, her inquiring mind and penchant for accommodating various styles and expressions. The melancholy polska ”Solace” is shoulder to shoulder with energetic minimalism, a lush landscape of strings, buoyant party music in, and a sparkling circus waltz with all the trimmings.
It all started with a poetic and playful circus performance about a little girl grieving her dead pet bird. Livet Nord composed music and took part in the performance alongside Signe Veinholt, an acrobat and the author of the story creator of the performance, and the clown Karin Svensson. In one of the scenes, Livet makes a paper bird to comfort the grieving girl. Through the albumpropcess the paper bird has joined Livet but transformed into a Blackbird. Like the Blackbird that is said to come with a message of renewal, this album is about finding meaning in life in even the face of grief and anger. To embrace your feelings, but also to let go and move on.
