Forget the image of 70’s soul for a moment and step into a different meaning of ‘soul’. Here it flows through the strings that open Lilies, played by the brilliant Danish quartet Who Killed Bambi. The arrangement, use of space and dynamics draw you into another space entirely, asking you to let go of expectations and allow the sound to unfold like a flower in bloom.
Then Astrid Engberg enters.
Her vocals, rich and full of warmth, remind us once again why she stands among the finest artists in Scandinavia today. If you don’t know her name, blame the media, blame radio, but don’t miss the chance to hear her here. She is unforgettable.
Lilies is the first glimpse of Who Killed Bambi’s upcoming album, a project built on collaborations with remarkable soloists. This time, the choice was Astrid Engberg, whose music thrives between the genres of jazz, soul, and pulsating rhythms. Their connection began through messages and mutual curiosity, and it blossomed into a collaboration full of trust and creative energy.
“I was incredibly moved by Astrid’s beautiful lyrics for Lilies. We decided to give it time and peace to unfold – and I was allowed to write a new, grand string intro that slowly opens the door to the song’s universe. I am incredibly proud of how the sound has turned out – it is both fragile and majestic at the same time,” says Mette Dahl Kristensen, artistic director of Who Killed Bambi.
Astrid brings unmistakable appeal and depth. Her voice weaves warmth and resonance perfectly balanced with the quartet’s elegant movements. Together they create a sound both organic and poetic, a harmony that feels alive with every note.
This is the soul from Scandinavia viewed from another angle. It’s where jazz, classical strings, and soul meet with finesse and intention.
Add Astrid Engberg to your playlists, remember Who Killed Bambi, and let Lilies remind you of the artistry being crafted here in Scandinavia.
