Moa Lignell

There is no doubt that Moa Lignell belongs to the group of artists who always prioritize the craft of songwriting.

Ever since her breakthrough as a teenager, her talent for putting words to her own life, as well as the life around her, has been displayed on several albums under her own name. Additionally, her lyrics have been brought to life by other artists, not least through Melissa Horn and Sonja Aldén, both of whom have recorded her songs.

Under her own name, the English language long dominated, of course through the success of “When I Held Ya,” but also acclaimed albums such as “Different Path,” “Ladies Man,” and “Oh Daughters.” The latter from 2020 turned out to be her last before Moa Lignell took a big step – releasing music in Swedish.

Indeed, examples of her Swedish songwriting can be found earlier in her career, but then as a lyricist for others. With the EP “Det lilla vemodet,” she took the step in 2022 to front the lyrics she wrote in the Swedish language herself. A decision that, of course, was charged with a certain nervousness, as the distance between person and text can feel too short in one’s mother tongue. But right from the first note, it becomes clear that the choice was well-received, further strengthened by another well-known artist – Ane Brun.
In 2024, Moa Lignell continued on the path she began to tread almost two years earlier. She released the EP “Ett steg från där jag kom” and the single “Allt jag önskar mig,” where she collaborated for the first time with another established songwriter, Andreas Mattsson.

After several years of working with Swedish-language singles and EP projects, the process culminated in the first album entirely in her native language. The album ’Vin & Pelikan’ was released in 2026.
