Viktoria Tolstoy: Pictures of Me
Dopo il viaggio di folk - jazz svedese My Swedish Heart in compagnia del repertorio di Lars Gullin, Börje Fredriksson, Jan Johansson, l’artista svedese, voce levigata come il ghiaccio, ritorna con un nuovo CD (jazz o non jazz) in cui rilegge con creatività un non indimenticabile Prince (“Te Amo Corazon”); ingentilisce ancora di più il genio di Stevie Wonder (“Can’t Help It”), minimizza le asperità stilistiche di Peter Gabriel (“Kiss that Frog”); coverizza con dignità anche altri musicisti di stazza (Van Morrisson, Paul Simon) e ha il tempo di farci conoscere un paio di inediti (“South” e la notevole “Absent”).
Forse è proprio sulla capacità di presentare un proprio repertorio che si misureranno le possibilità future di questa svedese trentaduenne dalle ascendenze da far tremare i polsi.
