8th studio album by Eva Dahlgren is truly something else than her previous album Fria världen 1.989 (1989). Although, Glenmark also produced the '89 album, this is much better produced. Luckily, the bold use of electric guitars and drums up front have been replaced by a more sophisticated spatial sound, and Dahlgren has accentuated her focus on more singer / songwriter material, which really suits her voice better than her (1980s Tina Turner) rocking anthems.
In Sweden, the album put Dahlgren on the top of pop in 1991 and she experienced the height of her musical career when she was awarded 5 prizes at the national Grammis awards for: 'Årets artist' ['Best Artist'], 'Årets kvinnliga pop / rockartist' ['Best Female Pop / Rock Artist'], and 'Årets album' ['Best Album of the Year'] for En blekt blondins hjärta. She also won the prize for 'Årets låt' ['Best Song of the Year'] for "Vem tänder stjärnorna?", and the prize for 'Årets kompositör' ['Best Composer']. In 1992, the album was released in an English version simply titled Eva Dahlgren - not to be confused with her second studio album from 1980 with the same title.
