Pia Samuelsson

Pia Samuelsson's hymns embody a bold and avant-garde approach to the Swedish hymn tradition, with lyrics that inspire a progressive and innovative approach to faith and spirituality. Deeply emotional and personal, the lyrics explore and embrace the strength and fragility of faith. The musicians involved in the project hail from jazz and pop backgrounds, and their unique performances by four different lead vocalists add diversity and richness to the album.
