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.

My new album Florida is listed as one of the favourite albums released in May on both Swedish Magazine Lira’s site and on the blog A Plague of Angels! Yay!! Don’t miss out!
Have a listen at Spotify or get your own signed copy from my shop here on my site.
Todays Spotify playlist is a collection of cool live performances, except my song that is song number 6 on my new album “Florida”.
The last two songs are two different live versions of the same song. Dire Straits wrote the original song but I really like the The Killers version from the Abbey Road studios better.
Enjoy your Music Monday!

I have a lovely new official video for my song ‘King of the Willow Tree’ from my new album ‘Florida’. The video is a beautiful tale of two alligators’ love life (maybe one of them is the albino one on my album cover!?).
It’s made by Dan Turesson. Check out Dan’s youtube profile here to see more of his work, he makes a lot of animated videos and this video he made for me is really soooo lovely!
Thank you so much Dan!
The last three days I have fallen asleep in the couch right after dinner. Now, watching Ancient Aliens from the History Channel didn’t really help me stay awake. In a way it’s nice to be able to get some sleep, but I usually never sleep during daytime unless I’m ill. So maybe the ancient aliens helped me fall asleep but I think this unusual tiredness more probably is a product of too much work this past year.
Since November I’ve barley had a break to talk about. I did the Christmas Calendar, the Christmas Concerts then dove right into recording a new album, worked with that day and night, went on tour to the US for three weeks and then started promoting the album which is now finally released. So, does that mean I can take a break now and there’s nothing more to do? Not really. I’m already planning for an EP, working on videos and promo for the acoustic version of Florida which will be released soon, and on a couple of collaborations.
But I really like to be busy. Having nothing to do makes me lazy and uninspired. But sometimes you need to take a little break. Good thing I’m going to Rimini for a weekend soon. And maybe I should stop wr..
