Tour blog begins today!

On the Lollapalooza tour I blogged on Aftonbladet.se but this time I thought I’d give all my non-swedish friends and fans an opportunity to follow me on tour, so my tour blog this time will be in english here on my own website.


Flight trip

I’ve just arrived in Canada for Canadian Music week and am exploiting the free wifi on the Fairmont to write this. The trip yesterday was about 14 hours long and we were very happy to have some pizza and get some rest on an inflatable bed at my friend Gary Taxali’s house here in Toronto when we arrived. Gary is the most talented artist, he designed the stunning coverart for Aimee Mann’s latest album and when he heard we were coming here he invited us to stay with him. Check out Gary’s work here: http://www.garytaxali.com

Today’s mission is to check out Toronto, pick up some lotion (I realized I was allergic to the one I brought from home) and to check out my favourite store “Forever 21”.

First Jonestown video released

“As summers pass” is the first single released from my third album ‘Jonestown’
With “Jonestown” I’ve further evolved my sound, joining forces with respected artist and producer Tobias Fröberg, who has toured with José Gonzales and produced the artist Peter Morén from “Peter, Bjorn and John”.

You can get the single from or from my own store.

The video is directed and produced by Jonas Westin. And the cool dress is designed and tailored by Sanna Nyström!

Ps. You can find a High Quality version here: http://www.sofiatalvik.com/media/videos/

Video in progress!

In a few weeks the first single from my upcoming album “Jonestown” will be released. We’re also releasing a video to the single and the preparations are in full progress. The talented designer/tailor Sanna Nyström will design a beautiful dress for me to wear in the video, and today we met up to discuss her thoughts about the design and take some measurements.

Here’s a sneak preview of the design.

Designing for breast cancer cure!

Last year I donated a song to HelpCureBreastcancer to help raise money for breast cancer research!
This year me and a couple of other artists each designed a t-shirt for Rosa Bandet and Modette.se to help raise money for the cause. The t-shirts will be auctioned out on tradera.se from tuesday onward, but you can get a peak of what my t-shirt looks like here. All the money from the auction will go to the research to find a cure to breast cancer.
