“You may well call
it a successful comeback where she radiates an artistic calm that receives
a warm response. Mature and without frills she revels in tunes that are mainly
chosen from American evergreens brilliantly creating moods of intimacy.”
Göran Olson / Jazzlife 2005
“She sings with
a sincere intimacy and her sensitive feeling for rhythm enriches the lyrics.
Her singing is not showy, she is rather the master of sublety.”
Torsten Eckerman / LIRA 2005
“It swings, it makes
you very happy to listen to such a fresh version of ‘Love Me or Leave
Me’, the best track. But it is just as much a ‘Jan Lundgren record’.
He has recorded a lot of brilliant music during the years, but his performance
on this album is among the best I have ever heard, crispy, tasteful and unique.”
Sven Malm / Svenska Dagbladet 2005
”In ‘Love
Me Or Leave Me’ and ‘Pick Yourself Up’ Carin demonstrates
what an immensely skilful singer she is.”
Göran Engström / Smålandstidningen 2005
Carin Lundin’s voice
is unpretentious – but impressive. Natural – but not naked. To
use your voice like this is sheer artistry.
Per-Henrik Cellton / Barometern-OT 2005
”Carin Lundin is
one of my personal favorites among Swedish female jazz singers. With her very
individual voice and sensitivity for what she is doing, she never disappoints.”
Kjell Stockhaus / Nerikes Allehanda 2005
”In some songs,
you get a feeling of Lill Lindfors where the easy and good humored tone is
apparent. Other songs are more intimate, as in ‘Little Girl Blue’
where the infallible voice of Carin gently plays with the melody. It sounds
so easy, it is so professional.”
Eva Gussarsson / TARA 2005
”Today she belongs
to Division One, no doubt about it, even though she has not yet been awarded
a medal. She sings well, articulates better than most, has total rhythmic
control. The best part: she is completely natural and unpretentious. As on
her earlier CDs, Carin sings a series of well selected standards, mixed with
a couple of her own works that are significantly more talented both when it
comes to lyrics and music than most of her colleagues normally put together
back home.”
Jan Olsson / DIG-Music 2005
