Look For The Silver Lining
På sitt sjätte album återvänder Isabella Lundgren till The Great American Songbook, med personliga tolkningar av hits som ”Fly me to the Moon”, ”Smile” och ”What a Wonderful World”. Inspelad våren 2020 i anrika Atlantis Studio, Stockholm. Med Carl Bagge, piano, Niklas Ferqvist, bas, Daniel Fredriksson, trummor, och stråkar. ”He who has a 'why' to live, can bare almost any 'how'”, wrote the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. I have stood in a lot of 'hows' that were so painful I wondered if I would ever make it to the other side. But I did, every time. Even though I have stood dangerously close to gaping abyss, Like so many before me. For humanity is a resilient species, which can rise from the ashes and turn the ugly into something beautiful. This album is about 'why'. The 'why' that has carried me through the painful 'hows' that human life is founded upon. Uncertainty. Injustice. Suffering. The 'why' that carries me is that humans, despite these circumstances, more often choose to do good. The music on this album is carefully selected to remind us of this goodness. Music that lovers have shared their first kiss to. That teenagers have danced to. That children have been born to. That people have remembered each other by. “He who has a 'why' to live, can bare almost any 'how'”. This music is my 'why', and hopefully you can find comfort through it. Whatever 'how' you face.
