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.
Spotify is adding my debut album “Blue Moon” and spotify addict Joe is listing it on his blog. I’m voting for Joe’s blog to become the official spotify blog! Hear that spotify?!

Last summer before the release of my latest album “Jonestown” I did a grand campaign with Swedish MySpace. During 12 weeks I performed all of the 12 songs from my album, with 12 different Swedish artists. I released a new video on MySpace each week.
Well it’s Wednesday today and I’ve collected all of my friends videos and are throwing a party with you all on my videopage.
I’ve decided to call it the “Sofiapalooza”. Why? According to the Urban Dictionary the word Palooza means:
The art of throwing a very drunken extravagent party with a plethora of friends. Whoever is throwing the palooza usually adds their name as a prefix to the word. Paloozas are usually held on Wednesday.
Come on in and watch the SOFIAPALOOZA!
I just got a new shipment of the album “Street of Dreams”. I’ve signed 50 CD’s and put them up in my private online store.
I got all of my album releases online and it’s the only place where you will find them that cheap AND signed. Get your copy today!
PS. Did you know that you can also buy signed posters in the shop? DS.
I got a mail today from CD Baby, the largest indie-distributor in the U.S. They LOVE the Jonestown CD and are putting it on their “Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection” playlist.
Check it out here: https://cdbaby.com/playlist/7
This is what they said about the album:
“The CD Baby editorial staff hears hundreds of albums every day and we love your “SOFIA TALVIK: Jonestown” CD so much we’re going to include it in our upcoming Haunting, Fractured Folk Pop collection which will be featured on cdbaby.com for one week beginning on Wednesday, December 31st 2008.”
So you thought my last music video was retro with its 50’s theme? Well you aint seen nothing yet! This is the new video for my single “Clown” and this time I decided I would do it all by myself. So I did all the make-up and styling and filmed it (yes I used a camera stand). Then I cut it and edited it. But I’m not ready to throw away Jonas’ fabulous producer skills just yet, I did have him help me creating the “burn-out” effect on the last few frames of the vid 😉
This is the first music video I’ve ever made and the second video I’ve made..ever (you’ve probably seen the behind the scenes video to “My James Dean”). I was inspired by old pictures and the creepy sense of the circus that the TV series “Carnivale” captured so well. The entire video was shot in my bedroom (but I won’t do a Pamela just yet), and the fab hat and stick was borrowed from my friend Theresia, they used to belong to her grandpa..
