Guys! I just spent the entire afternoon editing this video from when we were in the studio recording the other day. It’s got some previews of how the new 3P is going to sound. In the end of the video the a part of one of the new songs are inserted so this is like a pre-listen as well! My producer Janne Manninen has been taking it in an electronic version which I hope you all will enjoy. That’s the fun thing with these EPs, not only do you get to know the guys in my band a little bit better but we can also experiment with the sound of the songs. You don’t have to worry that I’ll totally change my style though, each 3P will sound different, that’s just part of the experience! If you haven’t pledged already, go ahead and pre-order this awesome EP here!

Hello from the studio!

 

First update about ‘V’

The gear!

The pledge has been up for just a few days, but we’ve already broken the 25% mark! That’s so great! Thank you!

The other day I was in the studio adding some electric guitar to one of the songs from ‘V -part three of L.O.V.E’. Producer Janne Manninen was a great coach in telling me how to play and it turned out great.

There’s also been some questions about the new pledge and the difference between this one and the other ones.

Q – What’s the difference between Pledgemusic and Bandcamp and why have you changed the platform?
A – Pledgemusic is just for pledges and Bandcamp is an online store system. We decided to use Bandcamp for this pledge as it’s more of a pre-order system and not a fundraiser.

Q – The price is now in Euros, will I pay the same as when I payed in Dollars?
A – The prices are still the same, but Bandcamp has their prices in Euros.

Q – Will the money be withdrawn from my account at the time I pledge or when the pledge is finished?
A – This time, as this is more of a pre-order system, your money will be withdrawn directly when you pledge. You are also guaranteed to get the items you pledged for.

Q – Will we still get updates like with the previous pledges?
A – Yes, it will all work like before and you’ll be able to follow and be a part of the whole production.

Feel free to email us any questions you might have! Here’s some pics from the Studio!

New video for ‘Glow’

Sofia Talvik - Glow video

The multi-talanted Jesper Jonsson has done it again! This time he’s produced and animated a video for my song ‘Glow’ from ‘O – part two of L.O.V.E’. All the beautiful animations in the video are all hand made by Jesper. Jesper who also releases his own music under the name “The Courage” did the remix and remix video for my song ‘You plate your heart with gold’ from my latest full length album ‘Florida’ and I liked it so much that I just had to ask him to do this video. His friend Per Gustin filmed all the sequences that I’m appearing in and it all came together in this beautiful piece of art.

We had the chance to make this with the help from my fans that supported the making of ‘O- part two of L.O.V.E’ via pledgemusic.com.

Thank you to Jesper, Per and all of you that keep supporting me and my music.

I’m also hoping that you are having a great summer.
I’ve been down in a dark recording studio most of the summer working on “V – Part Three of L.O.V.E”, the third EP in the L.O.V.E saga. This time I’m going from a pop sound towards a more pop-electronica sound.Expect something completely different and beautiful in a few months. I’m starting the pledge towards the final financing of the EP in next week.
