Album Notes

EVA HILLERED.s successful debut album ”Inte varför - utan Hur” (Not Why - But How, Record Station ) was nominated for a Swedish Grammy.It was produced by the famous singer-songwriters Eva Dahlgren in Sweden and Anne-Grete Preus in Norway.
After doing three more solo albums in Swedish Eva is now writing in English.
On her new second English soloalbum Hill Songs, she combines the best of two worlds: American Folk and Swedish folkmusic.
Eva Hillered is a singer-songwriter from Scandinavia, born in Stockholm, living in Sweden. Eva has a distinctive voice that boasts a deep soulfulness coming from the need of expressing herself in songwriting from a very early age in life.
Besides touring in Sweden, she has also been touring in USA, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Zech Republic and England with her music.

Quotes:

”Eva Hillered sounds a little bit like a Swedish Joni Mitchell or Emmylou Harris. She has got the same naked simplicity as Joni Mitchell, and a little bit of the same approach as Emmylou Harris and also a little of the quiet intensity that Joan Baez has got. But most of all Eva Hillered sounds as herself.
When you listen to Life Line, you recognize that what Eva Hillered is doing is unique in Sweden. She is odd in the most positive way. And of course there can not be many artists that have got Evas quality, a singer-songwriter that sings folk music in a way that sounds 2000.”
(Dala-Demokraten)

“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 takes a step into the circle of the most personal female singers in Sweden.” (Metallarbetaren )

“She sings with a beautiful, vulnerable voice, the songs have distinct refrains and them really get to you."
(Upsala Nya Tidning)

REVIEWS

Hill Songs
author: David Llewellyn
Nice acoustic CD! I have Eva's previous strong album, "Life Line", and this one has the same great knack of mixing catchy melodies and interesting arrangements. The quotes above compare her to other well known artists, but Eva's voice is uniquely hers, a soulful blend of Swedish and Americana. Back Up Girl and Waterfall really stand out for me, but as I play it in the car, the whole album has that easy "road trip" feel - you discover more and more, the forth or fifth time around. Congrats! Very well done. David Llewellyn (Grand Prize Winner, 08 John Lennon Songwriting Contest)
