	Sirens of Song: Nina Persson

	The Cardigans - GRAN TURISMO
		Gran Turismo represents a new lyrical plane for The Cardigans as well, with Persson for the first time penning the majority of the words, instead of collaborating with Sveningsson or singing his lyrics.
		Granted, Gran Turismo, The Cardigans' fourth album, takes its name from' the video game some members of the Swedish quintet enjoyed with near obsessive enthusiasm during breaks in the recording process.
		While Gran Turismo reflects The Cardigans' earliest creative stirrings, it's also a departure and a progression.

	JJ Hawkins
		The lyrics are potent, the music is erratic, and Nina Persson’s voice is as lovely as her face.
		It also houses the worst sound effect in the history of music (around the middle of the song), but I let it slide since the rest of the song is so good.
		‘Paralyzed’ from their album ‘Gran Turismo’ is one of my favorite styles of song.

		This may sound like no big deal, but the effect is amazing - the new sound suits them a whole lot better than the old, and nowhere is this more evident than in Nina Persson's biting vocals.
		album by the Cardigans, and was kinda harsh about it.
		Gran Turismo takes the group's sparse sound into darker territory across the board.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Cardigans, The
		But over the phone from her native Sweden, singer-lyricist Nina Persson says the band's latest disc, "Super Extra Gravity," is an album listeners can have fun behaving badly to.
		It's been three months since the release of their album Gran Turismo, and The Cardigans are itching to hit the road.
		There are shows for the Swedish band to play, fans to dazzle, critics to win over, a major hit single, 1996's Love Fool to follow-up.

	eye - Better sweater - 05.13.04
		Persson and bassist Magnus Sveningsson both released solo projects in the interim, and the group found themselves wondering if the end was near.
		To hear Persson tell it, the very future of The Cardigans was a big question mark following the draining Gran Turismo tour.
		The long-time friends, who started the group as teenagers over a decade ago, rented a house in LA and simply hung out together for two weeks.

		Gran Turismo represents a new lyrical plane for The Cardigans as well, with Persson for the first time penning the majority of the words, instead of collaborating with Sveningsson or singing his lyrics.
		"I like Magnus' stuff, but if I'm going to spend a lot of time with the songs, I want to know what they're about," Persson says.
		Certainly Sveningsson struggled with this, "It's hard to kill your darlings!" he says.

	Amazon.co.uk: Emmerdale: Music
		Probably the bands most unsettling and surreal album, Emmerdale employs quirky synchopations with high floating vocals from a young Nina Persson.
		Dated 1994, Emmerdale is the first of the Cardigans albums and is a beautiful collection of pure vocals and effectively understated jazz/funk riffs.
		Here her voice is slightly less developed and refined which, to any Cardigans fan, is a welcome change from the polished sound of Gran Turismo.

	TRACKS

	Amazon.com: Long Gone Before Daylight: Music: The Cardigans
		This is an album for listening to on your own as all the songs are extremely powerful.Persson is now showing what a powerful lead vocalist that she is on all of these songs.
		The Cardigans went into the studio to record their latest album and Peter Svennson was not happy with the results and shelved the whole album.He felt that the new album had been rushed.
		Next album 'Gran Turismo' yielded the hits 'Erase/Rewind' and 'Favourite Game' both modern pop masterpieces but overall the album was disappointing as it tried too hard to be the opposite of the first two albums.Too many synthesisers -not enough soul.

	Independent, The (London): THIS WEEK'S ALBUM RELEASES: the cardigans long gone before daylight
		Ironically, The Cardigans' singer, Nina Persson, opted for the opposite route with her solo project, A Camp, drafting in as producer Mark Linkous, prime mover of Sparklehorse.
		As on previous Cardigans albums, the songs inhabit a deceptive half-light of sexual desire.
		The effects may be temporary - "Please Sister" soon slips into sleek, slightly austere, string-laced symphonic pop more in keeping with The Cardigans' style - but they affirm that three million sales of Gran Turismo haven't entirely damped down the desire to move on.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Cardigan's Latest Album is Swede and Low
		More than any of their previous work, the album reveals the clash of personalities that enlivens the ensemble: the heavy metal/hard rock lineage of guitarists Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson and the '60s girl-group pop song tradition of singer Nina Persson and producer Tore Johansson.
		Certainly, the group is far from a mere novelty project of classic pop archivist Johansson; as their First Band on the Moon cover photograph displays ardently, the Cardigans can rock.
		Though their early albums Emmerdale and Life musically indulged the lighter guises of the band, distorted guitars and power chords have been seeping into the Cardigans' sound with increasing insistence and intensity.

	the cardigans
		Svensson and Sveningsson had been in heavy metal bands together, but Persson speculated in Option that even in their headbanging days they were better suited for pop.
		Cardigans has sold about 5 millions CD's worldwide and the demand and interest for the new album is enormous.
		A specific originality of The Cardigans' music and the fact that they clearly differ from the, at the time, mainstay of dance and R and B releases from Stockholm Records.

	The Cardigans
		One more album followed before frontwoman Nina Persson decided to pursue a hit and miss solo career that saw her back with The Cardigans and out on an extensive tour that lasted nearly a year which has lead to the imminent release of new album ‘Super Extra Gravity’.
		It’s been nearly ten years since The Cardigans first entered the public’s consciousness with the massively popular single ‘Lovefool’, featured in Baz Luhrmann’s 'Romeo and Juliet'.
		The parent album ‘First Band On The Moon’ went on to shift over 2.5 million copies worldwide and - proving that they were no one trick pony - the follow up album ‘Gran Turismo’ released two years later also proved popular.

	The Cardigans - GRAN TURISMO
		Gran Turismo represents a new lyrical plane for The Cardigans as well, with Persson for the first time penning the majority of the words, instead of collaborating with Sveningsson or singing his lyrics.
		Which may amaze those whose Cardigans experience is limited to the kitschy ear candy of "Lovefool," so in-demand an airwaves staple, it was the fourth most-played radio song of 1997.
		Granted, Gran Turismo, The Cardigans' fourth album, takes its name from' the video game some members of the Swedish quintet enjoyed with near obsessive enthusiasm during breaks in the recording process.
