Editor's note

Iiris Viljanen's quiet Swedish folk songs

A Finnish singer who writes in Swedish, drawing from folk traditions and introspective lyricism.

Start with "Man Är Ju Bara Människa" or "Sordin" to hear that atmospheric quality she's known for. They're good examples of what she does.

Her 2018 single "Årstavikens Strand" brought wider attention with its atmospheric quality, named for a Stockholm shoreline. Songs like "Man Är Ju Bara Människa" carry that same quiet, reflective tone. She's worked with artists like José González and First Aid Kit while speaking about challenges women face in music.

Born in Helsinki, she writes songs in Swedish that draw from folk traditions. Her 2019 album "En Annan Sol" and 2021's "Vinter" followed that initial attention from "Årstavikens Strand."
