Lisa Åkesson Steps Into the Void: A Journey from Stillness to Sound

Stockholm-based artist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lisa Åkesson makes her striking debut with Into the Void — an album that feels both ethereal and grounding, where soulful folk meets spiritual indie pop. With a voice often described as angelic, timeless, and full of feminine power, Lisa creates music that bridges inner stillness and emotional depth. Her songs are meditative yet expansive, echoing a rare balance of vulnerability and transcendence.

Before devoting herself fully to music, Lisa spent over a decade guiding others through yoga, Ayurveda, and transformational coaching. That experience infuses her artistry with an unmistakable presence — every note carrying the wisdom of silence, every lyric a reflection of the soul’s journey.

Recorded in New York City with producer Jason Landon Marcus, Into the Void explores the beauty of surrender — the transformation that occurs when we move from silence into sound, from darkness into light. The album blends organic instrumentation (guitar, piano, ukulele) with ethereal harmonies and subtle electronic textures, creating a sonic landscape that invites both contemplation and uplift.

The title track, “Into the Void,” is the emotional centerpiece of the album — cinematic and transcendent. It delicately balances elements of folk, ambient, and spiritual pop, making it a perfect fit for playlists like Calm Vibes, Peaceful Indie Folk, Focus Flow, and Wellness & Meditation. Another standout, “Surrender,” is a soft yet powerful devotional song about trust, release, and faith. Its heartfelt energy connects deeply with Christian Contemporary and Inspirational audiences and would sit beautifully alongside artists such as Ajeet, Fia, and Lauren Daigle.
