Yet even at this point Cronholm followed her instinctand temporarily put her highly promising career on hold: “My father died and I had my second son which resulted in a much more radical change than I had anticipated. I had to concentrate on being a mother whilst at the same time finding out who I really was again.” She started to write songs again, “this time at my own, slow pace.” The result of a good five years of introspective reflection is now her impressive comeback Songs of the Falling Feather. The search for the essence, the essential element of a feeling, a moment or a sound, is reflected in every moment of the album.

Cronholm’s music is like poetry. A breathtaking, intuitive and absolutely original voice has found its own expression.
