Stina's distinctive, breathy voice lead to early comparisons with artists like Rickie Lee Jones and Björk. Her early albums, Memories Of A Colour and And She Closed Her Eyes were significantly jazz-influenced with only subtle elements of alternative rock. With 1997's Dynamite she started down a darker, more experimental path - most of the album was filled with over-processed distorted electric guitars and unusual beats, but careful listening revealed her unique songwriting abilities. An album of covers, People Are Strange, followed before she returned in 2001 with This Is Stina Nordenstam, an album with shorter songs and a more pop-like, but still highly distinctive feel; ex-Suede vocalist Brett Anderson featured on two tracks. Her 2004 album The World Is Saved continues the path set on This Is..., but presents a more realized sound and acknowledges her earlier jazz influences more. In addition to being a musician, Nordenstam is also an accomplished artist in other fields, such as photography and music video directing. Slightly reclusive, she gives very few interviews, rarely performs live and even alters her appearance using wigs and make-up for album covers and magazines. During the promotion for The World Is Saved, however, she gave more interviews than usual and even talked about the possibility of future live performances [citation needed]. According to a newspaper in Norway, Stina Nordenstam is going to release a new record in 2006 [citation needed]. No title or release date has been announced.
