DESCRIPTION:
Jazz, Downbeat Electronica & Downtempo - Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Agnes Obel returns with the highly anticipated new album The Meaning of Flowers, following the acclaimed release of Myopia (2020).
Originally from Denmark and now based in Berlin, Obel wrote, arranged, recorded and produced the new work entirely in her Berlin studio. Across 12 atmospheric, genre-spanning tracks, The Meaning of Flowers captures a period of profound personal and creative transformation.
Inspired by the birth of her first child, Obel explores themes of new beginnings, connection and metamorphosis, reflecting on how new life changes the body, the mind and one’s relationship with the world.
Her new music draws on a wide range of influences—from the poetry of Enheduanna (the world’s earliest known named author) and the philosophical ideas of Hannah Arendt and Emanuele Coccia to the Danish pop scene of the 1980s and ’90s.

Agnes Obel (born 28 October 1980 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Danish musician, songwriter and singer based in Berlin, Germany, where she had lived since 2006.
Born Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel, she is the scion of a musician's family in Copenhagen. She learned to play the piano at a very young age. Her mother used to play Bartók and Chopin at the piano. At the age of seven, Agnes Obel played in a little band where she used to sing and play bass guitar. The group appeared in a festival and even recorded some titles. During her childhood, Agnes Obel found inspiration in the work of Jan Johansson. His European folk tunes, done in a jazzy style, are a major influence on Obel's music. She attended high school at Det Frie Gymnasium and attended Roskilde University.
Later, and with the help of Danish musician and producer Elton Theander, Obel founded the Copenhagen based band Sohio. After few years with this band, Obel debuted as a singer-songwriter in her own right and under her own name, with her debut album Philharmonics (October 2010).
Influenced by artists such as Roy Orbison, Joni Mitchell, PJ Harvey and also by the French composers Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Eric Satie, more albums followed: Aventine (2013), Citizen of Glass (2016), Myopia (2020) and The Meaning of Flowers (2026).
Obel lives in Berlin, Germany, with her long-time partner and husband Alex Brüel Flagstad, a photographer and animation artist who filmed and directed several of Obel's music videos, notably those for 'Riverside', 'Dorian', 'The Curse' and 'Aventine'. They have a daughter together. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
