Frida Hyvönen

About

Swedish pop singer Frida Hyvönen writes the kind of stripped down, piano-driven pop music that's at its best when played live. Recalling the baroque pop quirks of someone like Joanna Newsom, Hyvönen isn't content with familiar song structures, choosing instead to build her songs around unusual instrumentation, humorous lyrics and a storytelling style vocal delivery. The Hyvönen song "Enemy Within" is an example of her consistent emotional honesty as well as her vocal play between straightforward hooks and chatty talking.
