Quotes:
”Eva Hillered sounds a little bit like a Swedish Joni Mitchell or Emmylou Harris. She has got the same naked simplicity as Joni Mitchell, and a little bit of the same approach as Emmylou Harris and also a little of the quiet intensity that Joan Baez has got. But most of all Eva Hillered sounds as herself.
When you listen to Life Line, you recognize that what Eva Hillered is doing is unique in Sweden. She is odd in the most positive way. And of course there can not be many artists that have got Evas quality, a singer-songwriter that sings folk music in a way that sounds 2000.”
(Dala-Demokraten)
“She knows how to join music and lyrics into a functioning whole and is as a singer able to deliver the songs with a convincing sensitivity." (Svenska Dagbladet)
" Eva Hillered takes a step into the circle of the most personal female singers in Sweden.” (Metallarbetaren )
“She sings with a beautiful, vulnerable voice, the songs have distinct refrains and some of them really get to you."
(Upsala Nya Tidning)

Eva, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends today 7pm New York Time (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 7-800+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
Tack för vänskapen...:)
