Jonna Lee - Autumn Song Jonna Lee 2 comments Sounds Like Hello Saferide - Long Lost Penpal http://weheartmus... Hello Saferide is from Stockholm, Sweden, and is really just Annika Norlin. The name was inspired... Feist - 1234 http://bol.vox.co... Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one...

Jonna Lee is originally from Stockholm, Sweden, but is currently living in London. Her debut solo album is called 10 Pieces, 10 Bruises and was released on October 10th, 2007 on Razzia Records. Supposedly she had released music when she was 16, but I couldn't find any information on her previous releases.

She wrote a full electro-influenced album prior to 10 Pieces, 10 Bruises, but then right before releasing the album in 2006, she changed her mind. You can listen to "Passerby", a demo from 2005 on her myspace page.

She then started working on brand new material with Claes Björklund (her fiancé). She wrote a song called "And Your Love" with Ed Harcourt in mind as the male singer. She sent the song to him and he loved it so much that he ended up producing and playing on most of her album.

Harcourt even invited Lee to be the opening act on his tour through Sweden and Norway, which, sadly, just ended on December 12th.

Regarding the album, I think it would've been kind of cool to have just 10 songs on the album (representing 10 Pieces/Bruises), but there is an eleventh track called "Prints" with "bonus track" written next to it. The only information about this song listed on the liner notes is that it was recorded at Ed Harcourt's house in London last August. They must've really liked this song to stick it on the album (probably at the very last minute!)

Jonna Lee - All I Want for Christmas Is You

There's some great songs on this album, including the single Dried Out Eyes and "I Wrote This Song", featuring Danny Goffey (from Supergrass^[W♥M]) on drums and backup singing. It's a fun love song: "I wrote this song about you/I thought it might attract you/Sweet thing now would you like to..."

Although this might not be considered "singles" friendly, I quite like "Autumn Song", complete with its clapping. It made me miss the orange leaves of the Fall... and it's the song I've chosen.

Anyway, in a Christmas-related song theme of late, she's recorded Mariah Carey's 1994 song, "All I Want For Christmas is You", at Johan Lundgren's new large studio.^[1] The song is available for download on her myspace.
