Anne-Lie Rydé (born 17 October 1956 inStockholm) is aSwedish pop and rock singer.
Rydé grew up onLidingö, but moved toGothenburg in 1976. There she played with the Gothenburg-based bandExtra from 1978 to 1983. She moved back to Stockholm in 1983 and broke through as a solo artist that year with the eponymous album "Anne-Lie Rydé." Her first hit was"Segla på ett moln" (Sail On a Cloud), written byPer Gessle.
Anne-Lie Rydé was visually inspired byPunk andNina Hagen, but musically she played rock. She wrote a number of songs herself. She toured in 1983–84 withDan Hylander,Py Bäckman and theRaj Montana Band, and in 1985 received aRockbjörnen and aKaramelodiktstipendiet, a scholarship awarded for innovation in music inSwedish. She had serious problems with her vocal cords in 1987 and almost had to stop singing, but managed to recover with"Mellan ljus och mörker" in 1989. The 1990s were a turning point in Rydé's career; she began singing pop music instead of rock. In 1992 the album"Stulna kyssar" became Rydé's biggest success to date and in 1993 was followed by a show of the same name.
She participated inMelodifestivalen in2004, with"Säg att du har ångrat dig",2005, with"Så nära", and2007, with"Första gången", a duet withSvante Thuresson, failing to reach the final on all three occasions.[1]
