10 questions with new scandi-pop star Esther Vallee

One to watch.

[E]sther Vallee is the next gen Scandi-pop star you need to know. Born in Gothenburg, she was discovered by producer Jonas Quant three years ago – whose worked with the likes of No Doubt to Kylie Minogue – and they´ve worked together ever since. Vallee describes her sound as “laid back electronic-pop with an underlying melancholy.” Her new EP Things We Never Talk About presents “some of the most emotional years of my life.”

“Every song has its own story from relationships both from my past and from my present,” Vallee adds. “Every story is about things I feel we don’t talk about enough in life. Things we feel ashamed of or just things we feel are too hard to share.”

Describe your music in 3 words…

Melancholy, dreamy and story-telling pop.

Who’s your greatest influence?

I would say, no one but everyone. There so many voices in this world that affects me but in the end it’s peoples actions that inspires me the most.

Who’s the last person you called?

My sister.

What did you talk about?

That she’s coming to Stockholm next week to prepare for her new job as a dancer in the Caribbean. She lives in Munich so we’re trying to find some time together before she leave. I miss her too much.

How about £100?

Fill up my fridge with a LOT of food. Could live on bread and hummus.

Did you like school?

Yes and no. Sometimes I was one of the most popular and sometimes I was the outcast. Isn’t that ironic?

Time or money?

I’m in the wrong industry if I would say money.
