Antonia Vai
Antonia Vai is a singer/songwriter from Stockholm who’s working now on her first full length album. But there are a bunch of songs to listen to already now; songs recorded mainly by herself and which she publish on her pages in a steady stream.
The influences seem to come from a number of sources, but the most obvious vibe is a dramatic feeling in many songs in the direction of Björk, without exactly sounding like Björk. Mix that with a lot of soul vibes, closer to Erykah Badu, as Antonia describes it herself. I also sense inspiration from folk music; from the latin world, from the US, and some song from the Swedish mellow folk tradition.
You can listen to the songs on her site or on her Facebook page. She also has a frequently updated Youtube channel. Here are two songs:
