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.
News, videos and music from Swedish Singer/Songwriter Sofia Talvik.
I’m humbled to share Eclectic Pop’s list over the best songs and albums of the year with giants like Adele and Taylor Swift. My song Big Sky Country from my new album was appointed “Best indie country song”.
Here’s what they say:
U.K newspaper The Telegraph just appointed my album Big Sky Country one of the best Country/Americana albums of the year. They write:
Sofia Talvik grew up in Sweden but a 16-month tour of America has inspired much of the music on her new album Big Sky Country. Dusty Heart, Empty Hand and Big Sky Country are two of the standout tracks but there is a consistency to the strong songwriting and sweet melodies throughout. Talvik also has a fine lilting voice, which she shows off to full effect on the only cover among 11 songs, an ethereal version of Buffy Saint-Marie’s 1976 song Starwalker. ★★★☆☆

I’m happy to announce the new music video for “Starwalker” from my new album “Big Sky Country” The song Starwalker is written by Buffy Sainte-Marie.
The video was shot in Garden of the Gods in Colorado, and Devils Orchard in Idaho. Garden of the Gods is a registered national natural landmark and famous for its red rock formations. Devils Orchard is a 14 000 year old lava field and part of Craters of the Moon National Monument located in south-central Idaho, USA.
