Stina Nordenstam (born Kristina Ulrika Nordenstam on 4 March 1969 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish singer, songwriter and musician.
In 1991, the year she released her first album Memories of a Colour, Nordenstam played at the Swedish parliament as part of the Year of Jazz. Her early work, including her second album, And She Closed Her Eyes, released in 1994, was significantly jazz-influenced, with only subtle elements of alternative rock. With 1997’s Dynamite she started down a darker, more experimental path; most of the album was filled with processed, distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique song-writing abilities.
An album of covers, People Are Strange, followed before she returned in 2001 with This Is Stina Nordenstam, an album with shorter songs and a more pop-like feel; ex-Suede vocalist Brett Anderson featured on two tracks. In 2003 Nordenstam appeared in a duet with Jonas Bjerre from Mew on Mew’s third album Frengers, with a song called “Her Voice Is beyond Her Years”. Between 2003 and 2004 she made the Swedish radio-theatre series called The Fears of the Ice, about one of the first polar expeditions.
Her 2004 album, The World Is Saved, continues the path set on This Is…, but presents a more realised sound and acknowledges her earlier jazz influences more.

And then she closed her eye's is the only album I like. Sorry but I listened to her first (horrible) third, forth and fifth album and got nothing from it. I'm no Stina fan but find it weird that I still want to hear the second album once in a while. Must be the production and song writing.

at this point, i'd probably be more excited and surprised about a new album than if kate bush announced a year-long world tour.
