In my upcoming video…

… I’ll be dressed as a lamp shade! Nah, just kidding. The dress is going to be beautiful, and though it might look like a stripped lamp shade, this is actually a crinoline. Read more about crinolines here!

Video in progress!

In a few weeks the first single from my upcoming album “Jonestown” will be released. We’re also releasing a video to the single and the preparations are in full progress. The talented designer/tailor Sanna Nyström will design a beautiful dress for me to wear in the video, and today we met up to discuss her thoughts about the design and take some measurements.

Here’s a sneak preview of the design.

Sofia Talvik + Kenny = True

I’ve been listening to The Killers album Sawdust. It’s an album of b-sides and covers. They made a great version of an old Kenny Rogers song called Ruby.

I found the original song and the video of Kenny Rogers performing it on www.youtube.com.

Watch and listen to it here and then download or listen to my soft mellow version.
KENNY ROGERS ROCKS!
