_Release Notes__________________________________________________________________
With no musical background and without ever having performed in public, Zelmani
rose to the top of the charts with her debut album. In spite of being known as
very shy, she soon reached an audience all over Europe and Asia with her tender
singer/songwriter country. Zelmani got her first guitar at the age of 14 and
was taught some chords by her father. She learned to write songs, and almost
ten years later, sent a few tapes to various record companies. Sony replied
first and brought her together with producer and guitarist Lars Halapi, known
for having worked with Ulf Lundell and Bo Kaspers Orkester. But the very close
collaboration with Zelmani, where Halapi had total control over the
arrangements, was perhaps his most successful. He gave her self-titled debut a
flavor of early Van Morrison, but it was Zelmani who had written all the songs
and whose clear and fragile voice gave them an air of honesty. The album
entered the charts at number four in the winter of 1995 and soon it had gone
gold in Sweden and Japan. Zelmani made a big promotional tour throughout Europe
and then went to promote the album in the U.S., where similar female
singer/songwriters, like Jewel, were successful. Precious Burden was released
in 1998, and if it wasn't the same immediate success as the debut, it got very
good reviews. Trying to keep the touring at a minimum, the shy star was not
able to avoid fame totally and learned to cope with it more and more. The
previous two albums had very much been studio products with Halapi producing
and playing many of the instruments, but for the next album, Zelmani formed a
real band. Halapi still produced and arranged, and also wrote one track for
1999's Time to Kill LP.
