"As a composer, lyricist & vocalist we pretty much have to acknowledge that Sophie is a genuine triple threat."
- Slim & Michael Coyle, Cadence Magazine, New York , USA
"Sophie Dunér is a unique artist, a profoundly individual composer and a stunning singer."
- Michael Haas, award winning producer of Sophie´s new album
Review excerpt: “As always, the Swedish singer Sophie Dunér presents something brilliant and out of the norm . It has always been like that, a jazz singer, but in her own way – all the instrumentalists who left their mark on improvised music were in their own way. Note how she has control of what she does by simultaneously bringing her emotions to the outside, also expressed through verses that make her a respectable poet. She is one of the great contemporary singers. The album is among the most original savorine sounds of the year.” For full review, press link below.
Ugly Beautiful from The City of My Soul featured in interview for DONNE
The DONNE project features “Ugly Beautiful” during Sophie´s video interview for them. The composition is from The City of My Soul (produced by Michael Haas & released on PARMA Recordings). One of the great CD reviews: “This is a first class creator and this is a stunning album, the music of which certainly opens up new and quite astonishing possibilities for other jazz vocal artists to emulate and expand” – Fanfare Magazine.

“This album is a killer. Nearly every track comes at you like an assault of rhythm in which the twists and turns of the music keep you on the edge of your seat.” – The Art Music Lounge | The City of Dizzy is for sale on CD Baby https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/sophieduner3
Remembering the gig at The Bop Shop in N.Y singing in duo with the late, great avante garde jazz bassist Dominic Duval. Hoping the CD we recorded the day after will be released one day.
