Sofia Talvik – Americana / Folk with Swedish Roots
Unmistakably Nordic in flavor, Sofia Talvik somehow still conforms to American interpretations of her own original music, a North Sea siren blending sparkle and melancholy, creating a special niche of folk music.

Review: Sofia Talvik Jonestown
5/5 carrots from Bluesbunny
“This is an album that mixes fragility with emotional depth and it has an intensity that is most unusual. In fact, it could well be described as spiritual. The songs reward repeated listens and at the point of understanding, Ms Talvik’s voice and Tobias Fröberg’s sensitive, understated production gel perfectly. Elegant, sophisticated and warm, this is an easy recommendation for those of us who still have a soul.”

Sofia Talvik – Jonestown
Betyg: 4
För några år sedan fanns det kvinnliga singer/songwriters i varje buske. En av dem var Sofia Talvik som debuterade för tre år sedan. Hon fick en dunderhit med den sorgliga saken Ghosts.
Sedan dess har hon släppt platta nummer två, samarbetat med Bernard Butler och spelat på Lollapalooza-festivalen. Trots det är hon lite i skymundan i Sverige. Vilket är tråkigt. För Sofia Talvik är en egen artist. Hon har ett eget uttryck, en fantastisk röst och låtar som är små berättelser, nästan som medeltida ballader. Jonestown är en något mer lågmäld platta, de riktiga hittarna uteblir. Men det är egentligen bara skönt.
