Imaginations is the seventh studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter Molly Nilsson, released on 26 May 2017.

The album was inspired by Nilsson's travels across Europe and Central America.[1] Regarding the album's title, she gave the following anecdote: "I had a very different vision when I started [the album], but life interrupted me and had other plans. It was supposed to be called something else but a dream told me to call it Imaginations."[2]

Production

Nilsson wrote Imaginations in the first half of 2016.[3] Regarding the album's production, she stated that it was "maybe the one [she] struggled the most with".[4]

Themes

Imaginations has been noted to be critical of neoliberalism, capitalism and the political landscape of 2017.[5][3][1] For example, the song "Money Never Dreams" has been referred to as an "anti-greed anthem".[6] Nonetheless, the album has been described as having an optimistic outlook.[3][4] Nilsson acknowledged that the album's "tone seems more political", but that it is also "very personal" at the same time.[3]

Release

Imaginations was released on vinyl, CD, cassette tape, and as a digital download on 26 May 2017.[7] The album was originally set to be released in January 2017, but it was delayed.[5]
