The conservatory-trained Copenhagen musician Fine Glindvad Jensen used to lead the electro-pop group CHINAH, and she has made music with peers like Erika de Casier, Astrid Sonne and Iceage's Elias Rønnenfelt. She and Dean Blunt appear to be working together in the mysterious project known as the Crying Nudes, though that's unconfirmed. On her own, she makes beautifully expansive music as just Fine, and she's got a new album on the way.
Fine released her solo debut Rocky Top Ballads in 2024, and we named her as one of our favorite new artists of last year. Her music is fascinating because it's lush and minimal at the same time. Fine writes, produces, and records everything on her own, and she specializes in spaced-out, dreamlike reveries with just a hint of country-folk, evoking acts like the Cowboy Junkies and Mazzy Star. In a press release, she says, "Making records, it is not linear. Something is thrown into a room, and the bizarre is simply accepted; without ever feeling strange, you a surrender to the dream's own logic. It's cruel, but it's also freeing."
Next month, Fine will follow Rocky Top Ballads with her new album Jazz Dreams. A bunch of album tracks have already come out as singles: "I Could," "Run," "Portal," and "Moment." Today, she shares "Everything In The Shade," another woozy torch song that has an instantly calming effect on my nervous system. Below, check out Fine's Betty Krag-directed "Everything In The Shade" video and her Jazz Dreams tracklist.
