Ebba Forsberg

I came across Ebba Forsberg by kind of a fluke. I was getting rid of some old CD singles, and noticed "Hold Me." I decided to give it a listen and liked her sound. Been There is one of the few CDs I own that I can listen to straight through. With a playing time of 40 minutes, it's over before you know it.

Ebba's mature and gritty vocals is reminiscent of veterans such as Phoebe Snow or Carole King. She's not afraid to reveal the trials she's been through, as much of the album is an account of her earlier days without a place to call home. (By age 12, she had lived in Sweden--her birthplace, the West Indies, and South Africa.)

Ebba's second album, True Love, was released in Europe only, but can be downloaded in the United States from emusic.com.  Her newest self-titled album, was released in Sweden in 2006 and is for sale at cdbaby.com.
