"It sounds like songs recorded by Frank Sinatra or Dinah Washington
in the 1950s, but the music on Anna Nygrens new album "My Songs" is newly composed by her and her sister Carrie Nygren Graf.
This is attractive coctail music, whispering jazz with fragrances of
Dry Martinis and New York.
And as it happens, one of the very best songs is about being lonesome in New York."
Aftonbladet, Sweden
"Wow, wow, wow.
Anna Nygren has just released a very strong album.
Anna has a languid, veiled voice and lots of bluesy feeling in
every syllable. What she gives us here is jazz of the highest grade
and the fact that both the music and the vocals are thoroughly enjoyable adds to the attraction.
I find myself applauding every song and shouting "brilliant"!
This is good, incredibly good.
It does not come any better in this category of jazz."
Dala-Demokraten, Sweden
"...the sweet and sensuous voice of Anna Nygren works miracles.
This new opus blends pop and jazz in a very sophisticated way. It is balm for ones ears, rejuvenating for the spirit.
Although My Songs was produced in Sweden it takes you on a trip from posh New York parties to the paradise beaches of Rio de Janeiro...
There is much happiness and serenity in store for those who listen to this very classy and elegant album. Anna Nygren reasserts her position as an artist and jazz pianist of the highest order.
I am absolutely enthralled by her sensuous, ethereal charm.
A not-to-be-missed 2009 jazz release."

"The mood is tender and light with the right dose of nostalgia, making it the best possible musical night-time accompaniment. Nygren sings as if whispering with an exquisite, finely tuned voice.
The result is absolutely wonderful if you would like to relax in the small hours. Listen to her, you will not regret it..."
High Fidelity Music Magazine, Greece
"This is smooth jazz of the very best kind.
...tasteful and relaxed..."
Dagbladet Sundsvall, Sweden
"Anna Nygren adds to her great musicality a creative ability.
It is incredibly cool, beautiful, pleasurable and delicious.
Tidningen Ångermanland & Örnsköldsviks Allehanda, Sweden
"Here are some dainties.
The record offers soft, sensual jazz tunes, which gives the listener a relaxing, enjoyable occasion."
Säffle-Tidningen, Sweden
"...we can surely confirm that the country has won a jazz musician of great format.
...mature and sensitive composer."
Smålänningen, Sweden
"Great to go all out and pin ones faith on pleasant entertainment.
This is cool music to make you relax.
...pay some extra attention to Carrie Nygren Grafs beautiful lyrics."
Sundsvalls Tidning, Sweden
"...sophisticated, lovely and expressive. Anna Nygren got it just perfect.
Cool, melodic and exactly the right feeling."
Smålandsposten, Sweden
"It is irrelevant which music you normaly listen to. Here and now you sink into
Anna Nygren and her musicians smooth, warm jazz and it is like a mistress
or lover at night. It is sensual, well played, romantic and calls for nothing than an open mind. You wish you could bring the music home and lay it down beside you in bed. So you buy "My Songs" next day and live this evenings melancholia each time you play it for the rest of your life."
ZERO Music Magazine, Sweden
"It is time to become a jazz lover. Anna Nygrens new album "My Songs" is a fantastically gifted record. So smooth, so full of pleasant conciliation, something to resort to when ones soul needs some rest or when you yearn for friendly company."
TARA, Sweden
"Unique and colorful..."
Nya Wermlands-Tidning, Sweden

No one really stays... We all face that day... When it all walks away...
Even the closest of friends... will walk away on some bend... long before the end...
How we all misjudge... miscolour and smudge... and soak our clarity in fudge... How we love to play the jury and the judge...
We point fingers and blame... how we love to play that game... always having some victim in our frame... some hearty spirit we can break and tame...
No one really cares... We all take...never really share... always break and never really repair... ahhhh...we wouldn't dare...
It takes a special kind a soul... to see pieces and in it see the whole...
No one really stays... there will always come a day... when even the closest walk away...
But Dear Heart...that is not the day… to go astray.. That is the day... to reveal your inner grain... and not lose your spirit and stay sane... that is the day to remain... and show them all...how to play... no grudges...no fudges... no jury...no judges... no miscolouring...no smudges... staying crystal clear... like an innocent tear... welcome to my world of poetry biri
Here is the second part of our “My Desire” Trilogy of cards. It does contain material of an adult nature. My Desire (Part 3) is entitled “Intimacy” and will be here soon.
“My Desire.” Part 2. “Touch.”
“Through the woodland glade You appeared, a personification, of everything beautifully feminine A glorious Goddess, man made, but designed with Heavenly grace. You smiled and walked towards me. Kissed me with your sensual, soft, succulent lips Ran your finger tips down my back and up my spine The scent of your body was unique A magnificent fragrance of female hormones With a faint touch of honeysuckle, cinnamon and patchouli I would never forget this moment in time Your skin had the exquisite texture of warmed porcelain Your eyes, your hair, where passion would not dare to go I touched you You pushed me back. ”No”. I was yours and if you were mine It would be on your terms in your time. You danced with me You danced for me A pirouette that twirled us to the floor. You sat astride me, caressed me, undressed me Consumed me, I had never felt like this before. The way you moved on me was ecstasy The perfect rhythm and I never wanted to let this go. You played me like a guitar, every passionate note A crescendo of the flamenco. You whispered “I wanted you from the very first moment you looked at me. I burn for you and the power of my love is like a raging sea. We’ve only just begun. This time you’re mine. Your turn will come.”
