Dear Poptastic Readers,
Today we are featuring a song sung in Swedish by Lena Philipsson. The song is called “En Stilla Depression” (which translates to “A Silent Depression”).
Lena Philipsson has been one of Sweden’s most-loved singers since the 80s! Since she took part in Melodifestivalen, her country’s internal selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, for three years in a row, and by achieving a huge success with all her three entries.
Since then, she has had an amazing career in Sweden, scoring many hits and becoming one of their most acclaimed popstars (which, considering how many there are in Sweden, is quite a feat). There was a small period of time in the late 90s and early noughties in which she didn’t release many songs. But she had one of the most phenomenal comebacks in history in 2004 when she won Melodifestivalen and since then she’s Sweden’s reigning pop queen. She has just released her 14th album Maria Magdalena, and it’s one of the most poptastic releases of this year!
Her current single “En Stilla Depression” (A Silent Depression), despite the title, is a bright pop number, which reminds us of Ace of Base a lot! The music video was directed by Lena herself! It shows 4 sides of her, simultaneously! We love how she doesn’t take herself too seriously! Have a look …
There’s also a just-released remix pack for the song, featuring 3 reinterpretations with songwriter/producer Linda Sonnvik at the helm. Our favorite is the Sonnvik x partillemartin Remix! Have a listen ...
If you like listening to pop music on other languages than English, Lena Phillipson’s discography is a goldmine just waiting for you! Don’t miss it!
“En Stilla Depression” was written by Lena Philipsson. It was produced by Anders Hansson. The remixes were done by Linda Sonnvik with partillemartin, Kentomen, and Valence. We've add the original version and all 3 remixes to our 2020 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Enjoy!~
Shine on,
—Raoni
