Lindgren, Richard
Grace
(Rootsy.nu)

Price: 89 SEK

Richard is a true artist, and I am a true fan.
- Mary Gauthier

»Grace« is another masterpiece by the brilliant Swedish singer/songwriter Richard Lindgren.

You could say that this is an album about divorce. And yes, here are several songs on lost love and breaking up. But here's also a light at the end of the tunnel. Instead of self pity, Richard displays a sense of dry, dark humor:

I'm sorry my love
It can't be helped
My emotions are tangled
Like a bundle of kelp
I used to be married
I'm not married anymore

If the lyrics are dark and sparse, the musical environment is joyful and exciting. The producer Magnus Nörrenberg has pushed the boundaries. The basic singer/songwriter rock meets gospel and New Orleans brass and even some Caribbean rhythms occasionally.

»Grace« is the fifth studio album by Richard Lindgren. His first album was released in 1994 and since then he's been touring, writing and recording without any breaks. His most recent studio album, »A Man You Can Hate«, was released four years ago. In 2010 the retrospective box set »Memento« was received by massive critical acclaim.
