Lisa Lang Job Shop

No worries, folks — this singer, whose voice we love for quite some years now, has not developed a stutter, now that she also writes her own lyrics. Wo-wo-wonder, the title of Lisa Wahlandt´s new CD, is not indicating a speech impairment. It´s just that Ms. Wahlandt, well, yes, that she wonders. She wonders at life, to put it broadly, wonders at love — lo-lo-love — in the sweetly, joyously skipping title song, wonders at the oh so common, yet for ever wondrous story of boy meets girl meets boy meets girl…, including, quite naturally, the follow-up: girl becomes a mother. The loving, working mother of a Little Boy Child, as in fact Ms. Wahlandt is by now.

Lisa Bassenge is back with a bouquet of flowers. "Wildflowers" completes her trilogy of trio albums, again with Jacob Karlzon on piano and Andreas Lang on bass - same as on her two previous albums.
“Wildflowers” covers a range of songs that stretches from Dolly Parton to Depeche Mode, from Bob Dylan to Death Cab for Cutie. The way the trio arranges and performs them, these individual pieces don't seem to be thrown together, but rather like chapters of a story. Each one shimmers on its own, but the ensemble is more than the sum of its parts.
