Music for cello and voice, sometimes with electronics, beats and guitar!
A smorgasbord inspired by blues, eastern european and pop music...
Driven by the act of translating nostalgia and memory into music.

I en mix mellan experimentella tongångar och modern pop, skapar singer/songwritern och producenten Evelina Lu en musikalisk värld som är lika melankolisk och storslagen som poppig. Musiken svävar mellan genrer, den fokuserar på struktur och soundscape men håller fast vid det tillgängliga i sång och text. Evelina Lu växte upp i Älvsbyn i Norrbotten och inspireras av det storslagna i den norrländska naturen.


In a mixture between experimental sounds and modern pop, indie singer/songwriter and producer Evelina Lu creates a world which is melancholic, dreamy and ethereal at times. The music floats between genres and focuses on structure and soundscape, as much as the accessability in the pop music. Growing up in Älvsbyn, a village in the north of Sweden, Evelina Lu feels at home in the northen nature and grand dynamics in the landscape.
