Monica Zetterlund - Here's to Life: Monica Z at Atlantis and Polar Studios

After three decades of being tucked away in studio archives, a treasure trove of previously unreleased songs by Monica Zetterlund, the late Swedish jazz singer, is set to enchant music lovers worldwide. Sony Music has released, ‘Here’s to life’, an album featuring English-language recordings originally intended for an international audience.

The album incorporates tracks from Zetterlund’s albums, ‘Varsamt’ and ‘Topaz,’ originally released in 1991 and 1992, along with selections from the album ‘Monica Z.’ These songs, recorded with an aim to reach beyond the Swedish borders, were left untouched and unappreciated for 30 years. The recordings had been stored in the studio archives of the record company Atlantis, which were recently unearthed.

Zetterlund’s voice, a beloved icon of Swedish music history, will be heard yet again in this posthumous release. This album serves not only as a tribute to the legendary singer who passed away in 2005 at the age of 67 but also as a gateway for new listeners to experience her unique musical prowess. The English versions of Zetterlund’s songs will undoubtedly broaden her international popularity, allowing her music to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers.
The Anticipated Release

This release, a culmination of careful selection and meticulous editing, offers an exclusive opportunity for fans and music enthusiasts to delve into the forgotten yet remarkable works of Monica Zetterlund. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of her music that continues to resonate even after her departure.
