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.

I’m being interviewed tonight on the news at 8.30pm (kl 20.30) on Swedish TV8. For everyone who wants to know what it’s like to run your own label this might be a treat.
Update: Check out the interview HERE. (the interview is 12:10 minutes into the show)
… or you can listen to Swedish Radio P2 Felicia Show on Sunday at noon, when they’re airing an interview recorded in London after my gigs there.
I thought the reviews had stoped coming but apparantley not… so thank you ICA kuriren and Jönköpings Posten for giving me solid 4:s yay! 🙂
Today I was interviewed in national radio P3’s show P3-populär.

It’s been a hectic week to say the least. I decided to skip one of the songs for the album (as everybody thought it was horrible except me, haha) and had to choose and record a new one. I decided for yet another song with the word “shoe” in the lyrics and probably will have to rename the entire album to “shoes” now 🙂 .We decided not to put Baby, eeerr I mean Anders, in the corner anymore (as he was forced to be there during the recordings of the last album, that studio simply wasn’t big enough for him and his bass) so we even gave him his own room this time. Check out the video here:

I’m nothing but truly impressed of the way he nailed all these songs in just six hours. We rehearsed a few of them for the gig at Landet and the radio gig last week but there were several he never heard before and he did brilliantly! Even the song “Holding your hand” which he renamed “the Zappa-song” because of all the half times hidden in it. Being unrehearsed may not be the ultimate way of doing it but I must say it does add a kind of nerv that you don’t get if you know the songs too well.
Anyway, next week we’ll be recording Marcus and his guitars, yep he’ll be doing both acustic and electric this time. And I’ll record the last song for the album (no shoes in that one), which I have to do in the studio where we recorded the bass, because I have to play and sing at the same time.
In the meantime, listen to a sample from “I won the first price tonight”
take care now and I’ll see you all next week.
