I’m thrilled to announce the release of my new Christmas album, Wrapped in Paper — a collection of 12 songs, including three brand-new tracks. The album is now available for pre-order on my website at music.sofiatalvik.com in two versions: a standard edition, and a deluxe version that comes with a handmade golden wax seal, a lyric book, and wrapped in a forest-green organza gift bag, — the perfect keepsake or holiday gift.
With Wrapped in Paper, I’m closing a chapter — my long tradition of releasing a new Christmas song every year. The album gathers together all the holiday songs I’ve written since 2017, including two new originals and an open-tuning cover of “Silent Night.” It captures the softer, more emotional side of Christmas — stories of hope, humanity, and reflection.
But that’s not all! If that’s not enough music for the season, I’m also releasing a brand-new album with my side project Hansan — a stunning collection of songs in Swedish, featuring a special duet with Swedish rock poet Stefan Sundström. The album will be released November 24th and you can find it at hansanmusic.com. Between the two releases, you’ll have all your Christmas shopping sorted!
To celebrate, I’ll be heading out on my annual Winter Concert Tour, beginning with a special show at the House of Sweden in Washington, D.C., before continuing to Germany, where I’ll be joined for select performances by Regina Mudrich on violin and Martin Zemke on bass.
My Winter Concerts are intimate evenings filled with my own original Christmas songs, and a few carefully chosen covers — but you won’t hear any Jingle Bells. Instead, I’ll share songs that reflect the quieter, more heartfelt side of the holidays.
I hope you’ll join me this winter, whether by listening to Wrapped in Paper, exploring the new Hansan album, or coming to one of my concerts, and share in a moment of warmth, reflection, and Scandinavian calm. See all the dates here and reserve your ticket today.
