The first one to enter the Orion stage is Jinder, daughter of riksspeleman Åsa Jinder. I’d never really listened to any of the artists to be reviewed before, but at least I’d quickly played Jinder’s single ”Youth Blood” as well as an earlier song a couple of hours earlier to my instant liking. She has yet to gain a larger audience however, and her fifteen minutes delay does not help in building a crowd – the room is sparsely occupied. This considered, it might have been a good idea to start off with something more upbeat than the first song. Tranquil in character, it becomes even more atmospherical as the vocals aren’t loud enough.
The show doesn’t ever really pick up. It suffers from Jinder’s lack of stage presence and confidence, quite possibly brought on by the poor audience turnout. We’ll see however, that she’s not the only one with this experience at the end of the day. Most unfortunate is perhaps that Jinder leaves the stage quite suddenly: after maybe five tracks she says something I can’t hear and quickly disappears. Apparently, there isn’t enough material for a longer performance.
I’m sorry if this comes out as flat-out panning, but it could have been so much better. Jinder seems to be a talented musician, and should her music gain more attention and her shows a larger audience, I believe she will deliver way more.
