In the pantheon of ethereal female vocals surely none is more distinctive than Stockholm’s Stina Nordenstam. I first discovered her music via the seminal ‘No Disco’ programme, Donal Dineen was enraptured and it was easy to see why. The thing about Nordenstam is that she looks exactly the way she sounds, delicate and shy yet utterly hypnotic. ‘Little Star’ was taken from her 2nd album ‘And She Closed Her Eyes’ which was released in 1994. It was also used on the OST to ‘Romeo + Juliet’ which cast Nordenstam to a much wider audience. She didn’t let the fame go to her head though and remains a reticent artist who continues to follow her own creative vision. Her talent for directing is best seen through her own visually stunning collection of music videos. KD

I remember Dineen playing this on No Disco. Nice blast from the past.
