Eva Dahlgren (48) is a real Scandinavian superstar. Her major breakthrough was the album En blekt blondins hjärta or The heart of a pale blond in 1991. Several hits were taken from it and she emptied the Swedish Grammy table winning five awards that year. The album was also a megahit in Finland where Eva has stayed a very succesful performer ever since. The album sold over 500.000 in Sweden alone. A year later she released the same album in English for the international market with some additional hits from the previous album like Angel in my room (originally Ängeln i rummet). The albums biggest hit Vem tänder stjärnorna (Who lights up the stars) translated into less enchanting I'm not in love with you). Eva was awarded the Taube Award 2008 for her 30 years of career in the business.
Have a look & listen these three fantastic videos and songs from the English album "Eva Dahlgren" released in Germany back in 1992. The English lyrics are by Eva and Annabel Lamb.Angel in my room http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2kBMZeGCo0

Unfortunately it's not very likely we will ever see Eva back in Melodifestivalen (she took part in 1978 and 1979) as in a recent interview she stated "I was 18 back then and hated every minute it! Of course I was thrilled to be in TV but that music was not what I listened to, nor was I the person to be involved in such!"
