Her words and melodies have taken on new colors and shapes through Johan Lindström's unique creative gift. This is music that moves between genres and worlds, seeking through both words and tones that unspeakable longing within us.
"It’s easy to love what is beautiful,
but what do I do with everything else?
The things inside me and in the world that are raw, that are deformed.
This is a prayer to love what cannot be saved."
This is how Isabella describes *What Cannot Be Saved*, the first single from the upcoming album.
At just 18, Isabella Lundgren left Karlstad for New York, where she studied and performed between 2006 and 2010 on some of the city's most legendary jazz stages. Over the course of her career, she has released several critically acclaimed albums in both Sweden and Japan, and in 2015, she was awarded Orkesterjournalen's prestigious Gyllene Skivan as well as receiving a Grammy nomination. That same year, she also won the Jazzkatt award for Musician of the Year at the Swedish Radio’s Jazzkatten Gala. Throughout her career, Lundgren has received numerous prestigious honors, including the Monica Zetterlund Scholarship, STIM Scholarship, Louis Armstrong and Anita O'Day Scholarships, the Stockholm City Culture Award, and the Gustaf Fröding Award. She has also graced major stages such as the Swedish Sports Gala, SVT’s New Year Concert, *Allsång på Skansen*, and the popular TV show *På Spåret*. In 2016, she gave a memorable Summer Talk on P1, delving into the life questions that are central to both her music and her artistic expression.
