Breathy Swedish chanteuse Stina Nordenstam draws on jazz, electronica, post rock, smooth, sultry lounge, and the confessional singer/songwriter tradition to create unique, beautiful pop music. THE WORLD IS SAVED, the follow-up to Nordenstam's critically lauded THIS IS STINA NORDENSTAM, brings together many of the elements that seemed to be at odds on the artist's previous efforts. Winding, immediately disarming melodies are cloaked in breezy orchestral pop, shuffling, downtempo trip-hop, warm soul-jazz grooves, and intimate chamber pieces here. While this may sound on paper like a stylistic mash-up, THE WORLD IS SAVED is remarkably cohesive. Shot through with a plaintive melancholy that almost demands the album be listened to alone, on a rainy night, while gazing out the window. It has the shiny accessibility that made THIS IS so enjoyable, but is moodier, more sophisticated, and ultimately, more deeply affecting . At the center of this impact, of course, are Nordenstam's poetic lyrics and her voice, which is frail, ethereal, and capable of breaking an unsuspecting listener's heart.
