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 releasing my new album Florida on YouTube. Over a couple of months I will be doing animated videos of the lyrics to each song on the album. When the whole video version of the album is released I will compile all videos and make it available as a download.
First out is the title track of the album.
Florida
I’ve just created a fecebook group for all my hard core fans! It’s easy to stay up to date with small groups and to share things with only the members of the group in a private space. The default setting is Closed, which means only members see what’s going on in a group and that you have to apply to become a member. I hope that people within the group will interact with each other, and with me, and I will probably have some special offers and stuff for the members every once in a while.
This group are for the most dedicated listeners of my music. It’s like a small facebook within facebook. A fanclub! If you’re a real fan, join today!
We begun the recordings of a new EP suite yesterday. Christian Hörgren who plays the cello in my band will produce the first one. Here’s some pictures from the studio.

Japanese record company Coco Hearts is releasing my album “Florida” December 22nd.
“The album will be designed as a Christmas present from Cocoheart to Japanese music lovers. The best gift, isn’t it!” says Coco Hearts.
The album will be released as a special Japan release with additional bonus tracks. I’m really looking forward to our new collaboration. I want to celebrate this especially by reminding all of you to download my free remix album “Street of Dreamix” where Japanese artists Himawarii contributed with a remix. Download it here!
