about

The Hope Singers is the collective Swedish gang of brilliant, leftfield, alternative musicians from Stockholm.
Together they have recorded this unique and heartfelt album (their follow up to the debut album ”It’s time for…”) during the hot summer of 2018. Arranged and produced by Karl Jonas Winqvist (founder of sing a song fighter). Among his own compositions are also wonderful covers of songs by Mary Ocher ("arms") , Suicide ("dream baby dream"), Low ("the death of a salesman"), Alice Gerrard ("strange land"), John Lennon ("love"), World Party ("Put the message in the box") and Violent Femmes ("I hear the rain"). Plus the opening track which is a poem from 1845 written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with music by KJ Winqvist. In front of the microphones are many of Karl Jonas favorite vocalists (Annie Angel, Iiris Viljanen, Erik Jeor, Anja Bigrell etc) And some top musicians also guests: Lamine Cissokho (kora) and Lisa Långbacka (accordion), Theo Stocks (pedal steel). . And together, not solo, they deliver the goods. Songs of solidarity. We need it, you know!
