Sara Aldén

So how do we move for­ward? In Force of Nature the life we need to cre­ate emerges, takes shape and starts to sing. Lust, force, courage, hope, sex and ener­gy moves this album into a space of the future as we know it.

Bright, strong and flour­ish­ing. Swedish Gram­mis win­ner 2025, Sara Aldén and her trio present the sound of Swedish jazz 2026, where the voice is the core, the nerve, and the soul, and where every tone is care­ful­ly bal­anced by the musi­cians, cre­at­ing a blend of dizzy­ing arpeg­gios and dri­ven impro­vi­sa­tions, cre­at­ing inti­ma­cy and a hear­able trust with­in the trio.

This album begins with “World” — after leav­ing the pre­vi­ous album There Is No Future behind the lis­ten­er is left with its final track — “What a won­der­ful word” — where the last word is left out — leav­ing a ques­tion mark, ask­ing where are we actu­al­ly going? The end of There Is No Future is tak­ing the leap, dar­ing to jump, not know­ing what catch­es you. Force of Nature is the answer, and allows the lis­ten­er to land in the naked space of the first track — “World”. Open­ing up to the new world — to what hap­pens when every­thing is burnt to the ground and force of nature — and we as a part of it — steps in.
