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 now up on Spotify in Scandinavia. It will soon be available in the rest of the territories but you guys who live outside Scandinavia have to wait just a little while longer for the bureaucracy to take it’s time. The blog Spotinews also listed a few new Swedish releases the other day and my album was one of them.
So that basically means that you can listen for free, but if you like it I’m very happy if you support me by buying an album in my shop.
We had a little competition on the night of the release party where all you fans could take a picture of the gig, post it on Facebook and compete for a Sofia Talvik Florida tote. We had so many great contributions that it was really hard to choose a winner.
But by capturing the happiness and and ambiance of the gig and by proving that you do not need a professional camera to take a great picture Therese Göterheim made us look twice at this lovely picture.
Thanks to all that participated in the competition. You can see all the pictures on facebook.com/sofiatalvik
This Monday we had a wonderful night at the fantastic venue “Södra Teatern” celebrating the release of my new album “Florida”. The place was packed with people and we had a fun gig playing many of the new songs. During the gig we had a little competition where people could win a Sofia Talvik tote if they took a picture and tagged it as me on Facebook. We got so many great pics. Here’s a few of them and we’ll appoint a winner at the end of this week.
Thanks all for coming an making it such a great night, now don’t forget to buy the new album too. You know you can buy a download on music.sofiatalvik.com and decide your own price, or if you prefer a CD we have signed ones in the shop.
There’s also an acoustic version of the entire album that will be available for purchase in a week or so.
I know it’s a kinda weird headline, but this week there has been a lot of parties. Monday night me and the band celebrated the release of “Florida” at the beautiful “Södra Teatern” in Stockholm. We had a great night, the place was packed and we played 8 of the songs from the new album. No one asked me if I could play any ABBA so that was a perk!
Yesterday I attended my friend Dusty Monroe‘s release party for his debut album. Dusty himself looked a bit like Robert Smith on stage with wild makeup and tousled hair. During the gig ballet dancers, robots and a pregnant opera singer in a white sorcerers dress appeared on stage. Half my band who also play with Dusty were all made up in greek helmets and makeup. I was bummed they didn’t wear the same outfit to our release.. or not haha. It was a great gig. Dusty is really a live artist, but check out his album if you like electronica mixed with pop and surf.
I’m off to Gothenburg today to play at a radio show tomorrow and see my parents. Mum and dad have just been backpacking in India. They’re rather adventurous for a retired couple. Me and Jonas is actually alone in the first class carriage, and we just got stuck south of Stockholm due to some problems with the tracks. Good thing I’m in first class where there’s free wifi so I can do some blogging.
I’m excited to announce that my new album “Florida” was released worldwide today.
I’ve worked hard with the album for such a long time and it feels good to finally see it come online on all major music stores. Do you want to listen to it today?
