Lisa Nilsson

On June 27, 2026 at Villa Belparc in Göteborg, Lisa Nilsson presents a set that connects her pop-soul roots with the jazz and Swedish song influences that shape her repertoire. After early English-language releases, the 1992 album Himlen runt hörnet in Swedish marked a turn toward a more personal palette, with songs by Mauro Scocco and production from Johan Ekelund. The path continued with Till Morelia, Viva and Små rum, where acoustic textures and collaborations linked to Esbjörn Svensson’s trio framed a clear, melodic approach to songwriting.

On stage, she draws widely across the catalogue: pieces from Himlen runt hörnet, the more intimate writing of Små rum, and the Brazilian thread explored on Hotel Vermont 609 and Sambou Sambou, where bossa nova colours meet Swedish lyrics. The focus stays on voice, songcraft and space in the arrangements, leaving room for dynamics rather than effect. In Göteborg, she revisits chapters that map a career at the meeting point of chanson, pop and jazz, with calm tempo shifts, light rhythmic lift and a feel for narrative that runs through her work.
