Title: Give Me That Slow Knowing Smil

Lisa Ekdahl, the representative of European contemporary metropolitan jazz, the chief jazz female vocalist, and Sweden's national treasure singer. Her voice is very baby-voice, delicate with a bit of naughty, completely lack of black female singers like the bottom of the thick voice, so that some professional jazz magazines will use thin-voice to describe her voice.

Lisa Ekdahl's voice is still the most important feature of her music, and the soundtrack is very light and fresh, with sunshine, blue skies, white clouds, etc. It's very easy to associate Lisa Ekdahl's music with the scene, and even some sentimental ballads such as "I Don't Miss You Anymore" are also very comfortable to listen to.

Lisa Ekdahl began recording nine new songs in her own yard to make up her latest album, Give Me That Slow Knowing Smile. It's a simple but elegantly detailed album, with the first song, the self-titled "Give Me That Slow Knowing Smile," starting out with a poppy beat, but finalizing into a quieter song, and you can feel the serenity of the album from the very first track. Lisa Ekdahl's voice has been described as "childlike", and listening to "I Don't Mind", you'll be convinced of that. The World Keep Turning took five months to record, and is the longest track on the album, with a distinctive piano backing part that ultimately sticks in your mind. The rest of the songs I don't think need to be mentioned, and for myself, this album can already be classified in my top 10 favorite albums of '09.

Give Me That Slow Knowing Smile is only available in 14 countries including Hong Kong right now, so maybe when the album starts to roll out in full, it'll be a big hit.
