艺人资料
Anna Ternheim来自瑞典,斯德哥尔摩的一位女歌手。10岁开始弹吉他并参加演出,曾经在亚特兰大创立过自己的一支乐队&Sova&, 并且在各种小型节日和当地的俱乐部表演。回到斯德哥尔摩以后,她继续自己的歌曲创作,不久以后又到了瑞士的洛桑一边学习法语。经过近两年的国外生活,她又回到了瑞典,创立一支新的乐队。2003年,她和这支乐队一起制作了她的处女作专辑《Somebody Outside》。没有华丽的修饰,不同于Lene Marlin清甜的嗓音,Anna用她沉重又有点沙哑的嗓音吟唱着专辑中的10首歌曲。这张专辑感觉有点像Lene 的第二张专辑,旋律和歌词都有些消极,就像Anna生活的北欧一样,在欧若拉的笼罩下散发着淡淡的寒冷与忧伤,透漏着引人深思的神秘。Anna的每一支歌曲似乎都在表现一种情绪,表现生活的一段剪辑。瑞典最大的一家报社的Karoline Eriksson这样形容Anna“A voice that cuts like a knife and sings about those feelings that hurt, so beautiful it makes you want to cry“。
静静聆听Anna的《Somebody Outside》这张专辑,生活中的每一处能够引起你的心灵轻微悸动的细节都会随着音符与Anna的声音的漂浮而萦绕在周围的空气中。莫名的忧伤,美好而又遥远的回忆,茫然,解脱....
2008年Anna 再度发片,名为《Halfway To Fivepoints》。如果说之前的作品同时兼顾着Anna气质里的灰暗和清新,那么这张特别为《Psychotic Lovers》所献上的新专辑便基本贯彻了Nick Cave式的黑暗美学,它反映着爱情并不那么美好的阴暗面:自私,奴役,贪婪,冷酷……而当爱和各种各样由欲望主导的人性弱点纠缠在一起时,便注定会陷入令人绝望的泥沼。与这样的主题相对应的,音乐上起用了比之前作更为细致的编排,虽然凝炼依旧,但仍可以感受到涌动的暗色华彩。
2011年发行专辑《The Night Visitor》。
2015年发行EP《Light Of Day》和专辑《For The Young》。
2016年6月主持 Swedish radio电台节目。
