Ofelia
Ofelia, that stage name being used in common by multiple artists as follows: Sweden, Denmark, USA, Romania, Australia, Wales.
Adéle Ofelia Cechal from Spånga, Stockholm, Sweden, 17 years old singer and songwriter, currently student at the Music High School 'Rythm' of Gothenburg. She released two singles up till now 'I Will Meet You There' and 'Criminal' from Swedish TV series 'Jordskott'.
Olivia Axelsen from Denmark, folk/pop/soul singer and songwriter.
Ofelia released her debut EP 'So Long' in May 2014 with five English-language songs, which moves in the borderland between people, soul and pop.
Along with her regular band, she creates the sound that is characteristic of Ofelia. A sound where the voice carries the strong melodies forward in a hand game universe, and the guitars weave into each other like a blanket over the drums and bass.
In October 2013, she played a warm-up concert for the Danish artist Sebastian Lind at the venue Gimle in his home town of Roskilde.
At the same Gimle she was in March 2013 decided to sing a duet with Poul Krebs for his sold-out solo concert.
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Ofelia K has seen a few of her collaborative tracks gain indie cred over the past three years, but she's just recently coming to light with her solo music, and critics are taking note.
Ofelia K has performed as vocalist of the indie-pop duo Wanderhouse and collaborated on the 2013 EDM track "New Scene" from producer Felix Cartal, which Billboard called "one of the best dance recordings of the year." It is only since June that she has been releasing music under her solo moniker, though she's still working with her Wanderhouse other-half, Andy Rosen (aka Doctor Rosen Rosen).
Bloggers are currently talking about Ofelia K's most recent single, "Gone," which she released last week and is one in a string of heartfelt pop tracks showcasing her delicate voice over clever complementary production.
Kick Kick Snare calls the track "a breathy, emotive masterpiece. Detuned pianos, gorgeous reverberations, and a stark intimacy build into a work that's both fragile and poignant." "From the start you can feel all the pain that Ofelia delivers in her gentle vocals as they flutter above the piano accompaniment. ... Ofelia K definitely knows how to make us cry, but in in all of the best ways possible," writes Oblivious Pop.
Ofelia K's debut single, "White T-Shirt," is available from Nashville label South by Sea Music and can be found on iTunes along with her most recent track, "Gone," plus a remix of "White T-Shirt" by Golden Coast and her second single, "As a Bell." You can also listen to all four via SoundCloud. Her 2013 recording with Felix Cartel can be found on YouTube.
