Edda Magnason is a Swedish/Icelandic singer, pianist, artist and composer of storytelling music. Adrian Recordings is releasing her second album “Goods” in Europe the 16th of September. But you can already now watch her brand new video for the single “Blondie”. Edda Magnason is taking you for a journey each time you press play. On “Blondie” you can hear New Orleans echoing in the background and an Indian sitar playing the instrumental part. Orchestral pixie pop served with a chill cool attitude.
The video is directed by Jens Janson who also happens to be the drummer of Eddas band, that he joined right after quitting playing drums for a band called Roxette. (No references in music here thou, far from….)

Edda’s music moves us through cities and jungles, down to the harbor where the trawlers are leaving for Japan. Edda's distinctive piano playing leads us into back streets with garbage dumps and magpies' nests. Her lyrics are primarily depictions; sometimes magical situations from everyday life, sometimes whole stories are told. In the playful lyrics you can occasionally even sense a political undertone.
