Stina Nordenstam生于1969年3月4日，瑞典斯德哥尔摩，一名实验流行歌手、歌曲作者和音乐人。Stina的独特气声很容易让人联想到Rickie Lee Jones和Björk。她早期的专辑，如《Memories Of A Colour》和《She Closed Her Eyes》有着浓厚的爵士气息和些许的另类摇滚意味。从1997年的专辑《Dynamite》开始，她踏上了一条更黑暗、更具实验性的音乐道路，之后多数她的专辑都充斥着过度处理的、扭曲的电声吉他和与众不同的节拍。不过，仔细聆听之后，人们依旧可以发现她独一无二的歌曲创作能力。继1998年的《People Are Strange》之后，她于2001年发行了专辑《This Is Stina Nordenstam》，一张歌曲相对较短、较为流行的唱片（与前Suede歌手Brett Anderson合作了两首歌），感觉依旧独具风格。在2003年，她与丹麦前卫摇滚乐队Mew在该乐队的第二张专辑《Half The World Is Watching Me》合作了一曲。此曲随后收录在Mew的首张国际专辑《Frengers》中。她于2004年发行的专辑《The World Is Saved》延续了《This Is Stina Nordensta》风格，但声音更易接受，再现了她早期的爵士风格。除了身为一名音乐人之外，Stina在其他领域也表现出了多才多艺的一面，她还是个摄影师、mv导演。深居简出的她很少接受访谈，也很少参加现场表演，她甚至经常在专辑和杂志封面以变换假发和化妆来改变自己的形象。在专辑《The World Is Saved》期间，她接受了较以前更多的访谈，也谈及以后现场表演的可能性。Stina的姐姐/妹妹也是一名歌手、歌曲作者。Like Lori Carson, Stina Nordenstam has spent a fair amount of her career shedding comparisons to Rickie Lee Jones. Though a little similar, the majority of Nordenstam's work is more fragile — delicate enough to be knocked over by the slightest of breezes. Since the early '90s, Nordenstam has developed a highly intimate, childlike sound that has either lured or repelled listeners. Though her debut, Memories of a Color, was quite formative and was held back by bland jazz leanings, it nonetheless earned the admiration of British label 4AD, who were interested in signing her. It didn't work out, but the encounter put Nordenstam under the spell of the label's Red House Painters and This Mortal Coil. The recording of her debut left her emotionally drained; three years passed before the release of And She Closed Her Eyes, a wider-ranging and more brooding record that critics viewed as a major step forward. Darker still was 1996's Dynamite, which all but abandoned any of the soft ambience of prior LPs in favor of industrial-informed beats and guitar scrapings. The covers album People Are Strange surfaced in 1998, featuring renditions of songs by the likes of Prince, Tim Hardin, and Leonard Cohen. This Is Stina Nordenstam was issued in 2001, which featured a pair of duets with Suede's Brett Anderson. Three years later, she released The World Is Saved. Also in demand as a session vocalist, Nordenstam has worked with Vangelis, Bill Laswell, and the Flesh Quartet.
