Editor's note

Emilia Rydberg, the voice behind 'Big Big World'

A Swedish singer who turned a 1998 debut into a global hit, then quietly kept making music.

For the full picture, start with 'Big Big World' and then try 'Twist Of Fate'. They bookend a career that's quieter than you might expect.

Her song 'Big Big World' was a genuine phenomenon in the late '90s, topping charts in over fifteen countries. It's the kind of track that still pops up on radio and in films, a soft-spoken anthem that defined a moment. Later songs like 'Beso a Beso' show she kept writing long after the spotlight shifted.

She broke through with 'Big Big World' in 1998, but stage fright led to a step back from performing. She returned with albums like 'Emilia' in 2000 and 'Små rum' in 2005, working in Swedish and English. Her catalog includes later tracks like 'Twist Of Fate' and 'Sorry I'm In Love'.

Emilia Rydberg is a Swedish singer who had an international hit with 'Big Big World' in 1998. The song, which she co-wrote, came from her debut album of the same name released through Universal Music. It reached number one in more than fifteen countries.

After that initial success, she took some time away from performing due to anxiety and stage fright. When she returned, she put out albums like 'Emilia' in 2000 and 'Små rum' in 2005. Her later work includes songs like 'Beso a Beso' and 'Twist Of Fate'.

She grew up in Jönköping, Sweden, and sang in a local choir as a teenager. She later studied at the Adolf Fredrik's Music School in Stockholm before recording her first album.
