Don`t Explain
Caroline Henderson (born 28 February 1962 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Danish-Swedish pop and jazz singer. She moved to Copenhagen from Sweden in 1983 and spent her youth singing in various jazz bands. Her breakthrough was in the late 1980s as part of pop group Ray Dee Ohh. After the group disbanded, Henderson launched a solo career with multi award-winning album Cinemataztic (1995) featuring smash hits Kiss Me Kiss Me and Made In Europe. Follow-up Metamorphing (1998), disco cover album Dolores J – The Butterfly (2000) and the more experimental Naos (2002) didn’t have the same commercial impact. A new turn saw Henderson develop into a full-fledged jazz singer on albums Don’t Explain (2003), Made In Europe (2004) and Love Or Nothin’ (2006). A new album awaits release in spring 2008. Henderson has also appeared as an actress in plays and films....

Sinne Eeg
”A fully mature artist who dares to take chances, and succeeds with an instinctive feeling that lends credibility to everything she does.” – Boris Rabinowitsch, Politiken (Danish national daily newspaper) Sinne Eeg released Waiting For Dawn – her second album in her own name – in August 2007, four years after the release of her debut CD Sinne Eeg. Waiting For Dawn has stirred up a great deal of enthusiasm, both among critics and the listening public, and 2007 Sinne Eeg recieved a Danish Music Award (vocal jazz album of the year) for this album. ”Not a single track seems superfluous; not one passage in a song seems lacking – which is why the album is so masterful. Immediately accessible, but at the same time so complex that new layers are constantly revealing themselves.” – Gaffa (Danish music magazine) ”A voice that is warm and tremendously expressive – sometimes revealing a touch of fragility – and whose emotional register ranges from delicate modesty to explosiveness, without falling for the temptation of over dramatizing. Add to this a talent for phrasing and a rhythmic emancipation that makes the music come alive in a way I have not experienced in any other Danish singer. It is equally rare to encounter a CD release containing a series of newly-written songs that are such gems.” – Boris Rabinowitsch, Politiken Sinne Eeg has been exceptionally busy on the Danish music scene – and has also made several tours of Japan and China – during the four years that have passed between her 2003 CD debut and her 2007 release Waiting For Daw....
