To Maj

Angelica Matveeva is a jazz singer, composer and lyricist whose specialty and artistic goal is to create and carry out concept projects.

Her first project resulted in her debut album "Swedish poetry goes jazz", released in April 2011. It consists entirely of her own compositions on Swedish 20th and 21st century poetry. Musically the style is an emotional blend between hard bop and vocalese inspired jazz, with strong and imaginative melodies and non-trivial musical forms. The aim of this album was to combine the endless musical richness of jazz with insipring and meaningful stories, lyrics that are interesting to listen to.

Her second project - a tribute to French chanson - has been released as an album on the 7th of October 2011. There Angelica returns to her musical roots - pure melodramatic pop known for its profoundly emotional, larger-than-life stories put to sing-along catchy, timeless classic melodies with at times a touch of swing.

The release of her third album is planned for January 2015 and its concept is vocalese, a subgenre of jazz where the vocalist interprets originally instrumental improvisations with lyrics. The album "Vocalese" will feature not only existing vocalese pieces, but many completely new ones, where Angelica has written her own lyrics to solos by jazz icons Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Horace Silver, Franco Ambrosetti, Clifford Brown, Lou Donaldson and others.
