Eva Hillered

”Eva Hillered sounds a little bit like a Swedish Joni Mitchell or Emmylou Harris. She has got the same naked simplicity as Joni Mitchell, and a little bit of the same approach as Emmylou Harris and also a little of the quiet intensity that Joan Baez has got. But most of all Eva Hillered sounds as herself.
When you listen to Life Line, you recognize that what Eva Hillered is doing is unique in Sweden. She is odd in the most positive way. And of course there can not be many artists that have got Evas quality, a singer-songwriter that sings folk music in a way that sounds 2000.”

Reviews of "Hjärtats röda mening" (The Red Meaning of the Heart),

"It sounds just like that, like "the red meaning of the heart", when Eva Hillered sings about love, joy and sorrow. Hillered is no beginner, that is perfectly clear. She knows how to join music and lyrics into a functioning whole and is as a singer able to deliver the songs with a convincing sensitivity."

- Svenska Dagbladet

"With folk and pop as a foundation, she makes a number of ballads with a personal attitude. She sings with a beautiful, vulnerable voice, the songs have distinct refrains and the songs really get to you."

- Uppsala Nya Tidning

"Eva Hillered takes a step into the circle of the most personal female singers in Sweden. The lyrics are close and exciting, far from the halting rhymes of the non-stop music and the music is beautifully arranged by Lasse Englund. Here is a naked guitar sound that gets to you." - Metallarbetaren

"A mix between Joni Mitchell and Eva Dahlgren, since everything should be labelled. The comparison is totally right, it sounds like a woman who has so many things to tell that she has to sing. And she does it well; personally, in her own way and very musically." - Skaraborgs Läns Tidning

"When Eva Hillered is shouting out that she's happy in the opening of this album, it really bubbles inside her. The new record contains eleven songs and they're all produced by Lasse Englund. The code of honour during the recording was simplicity and it has given a very vivid picture of Eva Hillered today. I have already several favourites apart from the encouraging rejoicing in Lycklig..... Very beautiful." - Eskilstuna- Kuriren

"The record label Diva presents a to many people eagerly awaited solo-CD. On this album Eva worked with Lasse Englund as a producer. Together they have sought for simplicity and the core in the songs, they've found a straight, nude sound, which carries the lyrics that want to and can touch you. Musically it's an artist who moves playfully between genres.
Just enjoy this colourful singer songwriter!"

- Kinda-Posten

"Musically the older songs that Eva sang on her own and the more spirited Latino-inspired compositions worked best. When Eva Hillered quite early on sang "Telegram från en bombad by" with a simple comp, it was so beautiful that the hair rose. "Deidres samba" and "Felicia- adjö", that by the way is about the tragic figure in the novel with same name in Aksel Sandemose's "Varulven" and "Felicias bryllup", was sung by the singer with credit. She has a voice that makes you think of Marie Fredriksson in Roxette, but never ends up in the same strained moan.
