CajsaStina Åkerström "Klädd för att gå" (1996)

Klädd för att gå
release date: 1996
format: digital
[album rate: 2 / 5]

2nd studio album by CajsaStina Åkerström. The music is mostly pop soul singer / songwriter and she has a nice vocal. Only, I think, the music and songs lack that special thing that should make it interesting. It's not very bad. It just leaves me indifferent, with a thought of "so what?". And: "Why should I bother listen to it again?" There are so many other interesting artists from Sweden, I'd rather listen to. The two Lisas: Ekdahl and Nilsson, make more interesting music, and this album is a mere shadow of her fine debut.

Studio debut album by CajsaStina Åkerström. The style is European pop with a twist of r&b, pop soul and sophisti-pop. It contains the song "Fråga stjärnorna" ['Ask the stars'], which undoubtedly is her so far biggest hit in most Scandinavian countries. It sounds much like songs by Lisa Nilsson but is fine and addictive compositions. Apart from that the album is bit dull, though. Sometimes shes sounds like Nilsson, and other times she sounds more like Eva Dahlgren, which points to the weakness of the album: she seems more preoccupied about playing music by her sources to her inspiration rather than being her own self.
