The Mystery Solved: Jenny Lindfors Identifies Herself as the Voice Behind Avicii’s Lost Anthem

For over a decade, a haunting, unreleased vocal track by the late electronic music icon Avicii has captivated his fanbase. Known widely by the moniker “Enough Is Enough,” the song has existed primarily as a low-quality bootleg circulating through online forums and festival rip-recordings. Now, 15 years after the initial studio session, the woman behind the voice has finally stepped out of the shadows.

From Anonymous Session Singer to Indie Artist

The vocalist is Jenny Lindfors, an Irish-Swedish singer-songwriter who currently crafts indie rock under the moniker Sailing Stones. In a recent conversation with EDM.com, Lindfors detailed the surreal journey of discovering that a forgotten studio job had transformed into a legendary “lost” track within the global dance music community.

The revelation occurred by pure coincidence. Lindfors was vacationing in Malta when a friend overheard a track playing at a hotel pool. Recognizing the distinct timbre of her voice, the friend alerted her to the song. Remarkably, Lindfors had no idea that the legendary Swedish DJ Avicii was the client behind the 2011 recording session, nor did she realize the track would eventually become a staple of his live sets.

The Mechanics of the Studio Session

The recording was facilitated by British producer Hal Ritson, the mastermind behind Replay Heaven-a firm specializing in vocal interpolations and sample recreation. During the session, Lindfors was directed to emulate the vocal delivery of Florence Welch, the powerhouse frontwoman of Florence + The Machine. She was compensated with a standard session fee and signed a contract that included a clause requiring her to use a pseudonym should the track ever see an official release.

Documentation reviewed by EDM.com confirms that the contract referred to the song as “Let Me Show You Love,” a working title that has frequently appeared alongside “Enough Is Enough” in online discussions. The agreement also granted the client broad authority to remix and manipulate her vocals without further consultation, which explains how her performance was eventually extracted from its original instrumental and repurposed for Avicii’s high-energy festival edits.
