Denmark delivers yet another amazing female act in the form of Lisa Alma. In the last couple of years, talented Danish musicians such as MØ or Oh Land have been popping up and secured themselves permanent spots in my playlists, and Lisa Alma is no exception.
The 26-year-old Copenhagen-based musician released her self-titled debut album on Ikaros this summer. The Hybris-sublabel has made it their mission to bring forward the most interesting Scandinavian acts and nailed it with Lisa Alma. Piano melodies, electronic beats, poetic lyrics and her fantastic voice are the main components of her dreamy pop universe. The result is a consistent album with wonderfully tranquilizing, yet powerful and moving songs. The vibe remains the same, but the tracks all come with surprising elements on their own.
Lisa Alma’s background in theatre and performance studies takes a crucial part in her artistic expression, not only visually. She manages to incorporate that feeling of experimentation in her music as well in her videos. In the latest black and white video for the track “Down The Hill”, Lisa Alma have engaged two performers, although it is not a very action-filled video, the stunning performance is very much in line with her aesthetic and has a hypnotizing and soothing effect on the spectator. Lisa Alma is definitely one to keep on your radar.
