Julia Bengtson
Folk music and pop. Strong and fragile. Intimate and grand.
Julia Bengtson is a musician and artist, curious and doubtful, restless and maybe a little lazy. An existence filled with contrasts and contradictions and a constant observation of the outside world. Close, but at a distance.
Musically, influences are heard from both Swedish pop music and Scandinavian folk music - tradition and production - with a focus on the chafing that is so clearly present in the everyday life she portrays. The big and the small. The fragile and the strong. The simple and the difficult, the intimate and the grand, the private and the public.
Playfulness and seriousness.
Folk music and pop.
