I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY CD Songs Of Leonard Cohen at www.rootsy.nu PLEASE VISIT BELOW WEBSITES FOR MORE INFORMATION Artist-info: www.lenamandotter.com CD-order and Label-info: www.rootsy.nuPRESS - LIVE-GIGS AND CDS: "Lena Måndotter's Cohen-cd shows the art of balance with intuition and feeling and mirrors the musical development of Leonard Cohen; from the individual to the universal themes. Even though Lena is faithful to the original versions she has created her own special musical arrangements and singing-style for the songs which really catches the undertones of the lyrics. Lena Måndotter has found the narrow path between her own artistic expression and Leonard Cohen's. So it doesn't matter if you like Leonard Cohen or not; Lena Måndotter's versions are well worth listening to." LIRA MUSIC-MAGAZINE, JAN CARLSSON "the music creates connection and sense and it's tightly held in a laidback way. Lena Måndotter's strong vocals give the music it's natural centre. The acoustic accompaniment is intuitive and there are some powerful solos." SVENSKA DAGBLADET, MAGNUS ERIKSSON (National Swedish Newspaper) "Lena Måndotter's interpretations of Leonard Cohen's songs are very intuitive and exciting. A beautiful combination of the warmth of the solitary voice and tasteful musical arrangements." SWEDISH NATIONAL RADIO P2, MARIE VESTERHOLM”I really like the Swedish singer Lena Måndotter’s deep and intimate interpretations of Leonard Cohen’s songs. The sparse and tasteful musical arrangements also leave the necessary space for her strong though sensitive vocals. Acoustic guitar, bouzouki and cello mirror very well the atmosphere of each song.It suits Lena’s voice perfectly!” THE LEONARDCOHEN-FILES - JARKKO ARJATSALO "an evocative collection of songs...very impressive in many ways" SYDSVENSKA DAGBLADET, ANDERS JADERUP (Swedish Newspaper) "evocative, intimate and convincing singing" DAGENS NYHETER (Swedish National Newspaper) "excellent songs with Lena Måndotter's lightly veiled and strong voice" GROOVE MUSICMAGAZINE (SWE) "great songs against the mainstream and the music really swings...an outstanding and exciting music-performance." SKÅNSKA DAGBLADET (Swedish Newspaper) "exciting, tasteful singing and talented musicianship, it's profound musical art!" ROCKPARTY MAGAZINE "subtle and skillful music" SWEDISH NATIONAL RADIO P2, FELICIA "intimate and skillful music and Lena Måndotter's singing is both vulnerable and strong" SKÅNSKA DAGBLADET, YVONNE ERLANDSSON (Swedish Newspaper) "Lena forms this album with her beautiful vocals and and very well suited musical arrangements" MUSIKINDUSTRIN (The Swedish Music-bransch Magazine) "beautiful musical arrangements and Lena Måndotter's warm voice and skillful singing shows that she knows Leonard Cohen's songs, for sure!" SUNDSVALLS TIDNING (Swedish Newspaper) ”Lena Måndotter has a long experience of Leonard Cohen’s songs and she manages well thanks to her chamber music arrangements: cello, mandola, acoustic guitars, spiced with some greek bouzouki. Her voice is really taylor-made for Cohens atmospheric songs. DALADEMOKRATEN (Swedish Newspaper) ”Lena Måndotter sings Leonard Cohen’s songs with real feeling and authentic dignity. The musical arrangements also give a new dimension to the original songs. All one can do is just listen and fully enjoy these charming interpretations of Cohen-hits.” VÄRMLANDS FOLKBLAD (Swedish Newspaper) YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY CD Songs Of Leonard Cohen at www.rootsy.nuMORE INFORMATION www.lenamandotter.com
