Mångfacetterade musikaliska talangen Kerstin Ljungström är ett välbekant namn bakom musikbranschens kulisser, lärling till producenterna Magnus Lidehäll, Vincent Pontare och Salem Al Fakir, och fortfarande huserande i deras studio. Kerstins vemodigt vackra och intima vokaler i det lägre registret på debutsingeln “Ex” väcker minnen till 90-talets Eva Dahlgren och Lisa Nilsson. I kombination med en grandios och luftig produktion av piano och stora trummor som klingar av tidlöshet förs tankarna till svenska popmakare som Jonathan Johansson och Oskar Linnros.
