In this album, I continue my journey of bringing new life to forgotten Swedish songs. It also features an exclusive new translation and a previously unpublished piece by Niklas Lind Gabrielsson.
“Ulla Fluur brings the lyrics to life – the words shine with the glow of lived experience...”
-Magnus Östnäs, Lira (23 maj 2025)
“At the same time, I want to emphasize that on Katten också! Fluur has further refined her unique style as a vocalist – a high compliment indeed.”
-Henrik Lång, Orkesterjournalen (nr 3, 2025)
The lyrics on this album are all in Swedish. En röd vals(“A Red Waltz”) was composed by the great Jan Johansson for Sweden’s Eurovision entry in the 1960s, along with four other tracks on the album. None were winners, but each has its own charm.
Two songs are by Lars Gullin, one of Sweden’s most internationally known jazz musicians.
Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twicehas been “jazzified” with Swedish lyrics for a fresh twist.
The album also features two songs by one of my favorite contemporary Swedish songwriters, Niklas Lind Gabrielsson.
My very first album – a mix of pop, rock, folk, Swedish schlager and real jazz. Eight songs in English and three in Swedish.
