Press quotes:
”Iris grabs hold of the listener with her strong feeling”
”Most of all she seems to be rooted in a feeling. She does this in every given piece
without really revealing to any particular genre. It falls back on a relationship to the
music and to the lyrics that is perhaps most reminiscent of the principle of blues.
When it grabs the listener, the expression becomes larger than the framework, and it
then lifts everything around "
- Johannes Cornell Dagens Nyheter
”A force of nature”
”The fearless and flawless debut solo album by Swedish singer/composer Iris
Bergcrantz is one of the most exciting new arrivals in the contemporary jazz scene.
She sounds really "contemporary," taking chances and providing extremely intriguing
tunes. As a composer, Iris paints musical landscapes of intense beauty and a sense
of urgency, using her voice to forward
the lyrics' messages with complete mastery”.
-Arnaldo Desouteiro, Jazz Station (Jazz, Bossa and Beyond)
”New Swedish jazz sensation” "Would she immediately put
herself among Sweden’s- even the world's foremost jazz vocalists?
Answer: Yes."
-Bengt Eriksson, Ystad Allehanda
“The music creator from Scania is successfully bringing together beautiful melodies
with artistic leaps. She either sings deeply rooted in the lyrics, or in a characteristic
wordless song. Boundlessly hovering.”
-Mats Hallberg, Orkesterjournalen

”Iris Bergcrantz has an exceptionally beautiful singing voice, folky, sonorous and
beautiful. It feels like she can go very far if her young dreams will come true”
-Timo Kangas, Lira Musikmagasin
”Her arrangements are filled with subtle nuances and dynamics. Melodic chamber
music combined with a temperamental jazz puls”.
-Patrick Španko, Sk Jazz
”Iris Bergcrantz moves around in the music with certainty and fully developed
phrasing”.
-Ulf Johansson, Lira Musikmagasin
”Iris Bergcrantz knows her stuff” "Iris Bergcrantz is a vocal equilibrist, and she uses
her great talent to create, not to show off. Time after time her singing makes your
ears cry with joy”
- Björn G Stenberg
”Always exciting with new musicians that have the routine, visions, and the tools to
achieve her goals”
-Alexander Agrell
”Bergcrantz makes a timid and sensitive version that captures both the melancholy
loving and the lovingly melancholy in a wonderfully beautiful and touching way. She
really makes us hear the familiar song in a new way”.
-Sten Wistrand, Kulturdelen
”An exceptional voice, is what Iris Bergcrantz is”
-Gunnar Balgård Västerbottenskuriren...
