Details:
EVA HILLERED is a singer-songwriter from Scandinavia, born in Stockholm, living in Sweden. Eva has a unique voice that boasts a deep soulfulness coming from the need of expressing herself in songwriting from a very early age in life.
She has been working with many of Swedens most respected musicians, producers and artists.
The collaboration with the famous singer-songwriters Eva Dahlgren in Sweden and Anne-Grete Preus in Norway resulted in them being the producers of Eva''s debut album "Inte varför - utan hur" (Not Why - But How, Record Station). This strong melancholic record with striking melodies and profound depth was nominated for a Swedish Grammy.
"She makes music that is honest and straight-forward. Music close to the heart." (Eva Dahlgren about Eva Hillered in Elle)
Eva has made six solo albums. Besides touring in Sweden, she has also been touring in Denmark, Germany, Ireland and USA with her music.
Regular TV and radio appearances reflect Evas success and standing as a performer.
Recently two songs from her latest solo CD in Swedish "Hjärtats röda mening" ("The Red Meaning of the Heart", Hawk Records 2004) was on the radio P4-list (the most played songs in Sweden on radio) for five months.
Her latest tour in Sweden together with some of Swedens most popular artists in the Swedish folk genre - Ola Magnell, Peter Lundblad and Wille Crafoord - was documented by Swedish television.
"It sounds just like that, like ''the red meaning of the heart'', when Eva Hillered sings about love, joy, and sorrow. Hillered is no beginner, that is perfectly clear. She knows how to join music and lyrics into a functioning whole and is as a singer able to deliver the songs with a convincing sensitivity." (Svenska Dagbladet)
"Eva Hillered has become the music producers'' favourite on the radio. Her new album ''Jag vet'' is one of the most played at the national radio channel P3." (Skånska Dagbladet)
Eva has performed a lot, not only as a singer but also as an actor in different music theater plays.
She had a leading part in a music play about the well known troubadour Cornelis Vreeswijk. This play, "Ballad på en soptipp", was an enormous success, and during two years she made over 150 performances with the show. An album with some of the songs was also released. Eva participated with three songs by Cornelis Vreeswijk .
Perfect artistry
..."''Ballad på en soptipp'' is permeated with brilliant artistry and musicality. Eva Hillered is a strong interpreter of Cornelis with an emotional voice."(Göteborgs-Posten)
"Eva Hillered with her incredible voice does ''Fiffiga Nanette'' so well that Fiffiga Nanette herself stands in the shade... Cornelis'' music is beautiful and in this production it''s even more beautiful than when he sang the songs himself. The whole production offers rich musical experiences in everything from Bo Sandberg''s flute, Göran Wiklund''s bluesy voice to Eva Hillered''s big, bright, well, what can I say? I think ''No one like you, no one can touch me like you'', is closest to the truth". (Nya Uppsala Tidning)
Her third solo CD was produced by the Grammy-awarded Swedish producer Lasse Englund:
"With this third album, Eva Hillered takes a step into the circle of the most personal female singers in Sweden. The lyrics are close and exciting, far from the halting rhymes of the non-stop music and the music is beautifully arranged by Lasse Englund. Here is a naked guitar sound that gets to you." (Metallarbetaren)
"A mix between Joni Mitchell and Eva Dahlgren, since everything should be labelled. The comparison is totally right, it sounds like a woman who has so many things to tell that she has to sing. And she does it well; with personality, in her own way and very musically." (Skaraborgs Läns Tidning)
Besides being a singer-songwriter Eva has started the independent record label Diva together with five other female singer-songwriters, one of them Ebba Forsberg, now signed by Maverick Records.
As the first project, these talented singer-songwriters released a collection CD where every artist made two songs, "12 tracks from Diva".
"Best is without a doubt Eva Hillered (symptomatically the most established with two albums on Record Station behind her). Her "Det kommer hända igen" is a sensationally good trip into Joni Michell-land." (Svenska Dagbladet)
For four years now, Eva has been co-writing and touring, taking part of an expansive network of singer-songwriters in Europe and USA. One result of the many co-written songs is a new CD with English songs, "Life Line" (Hill Songs 2005), including ten songs co-written with estableshed songwriters from USA, Canada, Ireland, and Denmark.
