PSLP01, Palmstierna & Co (Vinyl/Digital)
The album It’s Time contains 10 songs chosen for their ability to carry some of the memories, feelings, dreams and realities of what it is to be human. A selection that mirrors a voice rooted in jazz with a soul seasoning. All with lyrics that Louise infuses with meaning through her heartfelt and dynamic tone together with some of Sweden’s most renowned musicians.
Standards side by side with songs from the nooks of blues and pop. And the song “Thyra,” an original composition by Louise’s brother reminding us that time is scarce, that we shall use it wisely and with courage. That it’s time …

Themes may range from the bittersweet nature of Christmas and summer – seasons that evoke both connection and solitude, anticipation and the fear of disappointment – to the first show, The Hourglass, which explores how we live fully despite the scars, limitations, and doubts we all carry.
Placed in unexpected settings – such as the corporate world – music opens new spaces for reflection and conversation. Increasingly, Louise is invited to write and speak about challenges in working life: change, values, leadership. And knowing the healing power of music, she occasionally brings it into conference rooms and boardrooms – offering a rare moment of connection in the midst of business.
“To be human isn’t for beginners.” A saying from my friend Peter that has always resonated with me. Life’s challenges and wonders are universal – they connect us, shape us, and invite reflection.
Through short written pieces, Louise captures these shared experiences – thoughts and emotions that, like pieces of a patchwork quilt, are stitched together with songs from different eras and genres. The result is what she calls Concert Talks – a fusion of storytelling and music, where words and melodies intertwine to create something at once deeply personal and universally relatable.
