On this episode CloudwatcherUno sits down with Tilde the n this episode CloudwatcherUno sits down with Tilde the Swedish Soul Singer for a nice cuppaaa of tea. From her home in Gothenburg we get to talk about her English/Swedish heritage, singing her songs as an expression of who she is on a DNA level and the story behind her two albums ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ and ‘Pink Moon’ and upcoming third studio album.

When Tilde first stared writing songs she was a teenager and the artists that she was listening to sang in English so it came to her naturally, it’s the language that she writes her songs in. Music has always been a part of Tilde’s life, her father went to the Royal Academy of Music in London to play violin, her grandmother was an opera singer. As there was a piano at home, Tilde started playing this at a very early age and it was her first instrument for many many years. Then at age 14 Tilde sang at her School Concert, then sang at music school and performed in bands.

Singing is part of Tilde’s identity, an essential component of her DNA. Tilde has expressed all the things inside her through music. Nina Simone has been a big influence on Tilde’s writing and has helped to shape her as an artist. Tilde needs music as an outlet and it is a form of therapy for her. She’s written songs that she isn’t consciously aware of and even predicts what may come to pass such as an eventual breakup. During the pandemic Tilde felt like she had lost her identity because she couldn’t perform and had many gigs planned in Denmark and was starting to build an audience. It was heart-breaking to see all the hard work just go up in smoke.

There are many stories in her life that have been translated into music and tries to capture that in her albums. Tilde has been back in the studio for her upcoming third album and is at least 80% there in terms of bringing the songs to life just the way she has imagined them.
