Check out the blog “Saker som inspirerar” (Things that inspire) where I among others contribute over the summer. Find out what inspires me… unfortunately only in Swedish.
I told you so!
It’s the money shot! reviews Blåa Linen Hem from an English perspective:
sofia talvik: new single “blåa linjen hem”.
SOFIA TALVIK makes me wish that I knew Swedish.
She just released her summer single “Blåa linjen hem”. I couldn’t tell you what it’s about. It could be about anything from clubbing baby seals or clubbing with baby seals. Despite this, Sofia ensures us English speaking fans that we’ll love it no matter what we think the lyrics are, and she’s absolutely right in this case. Well, at least she’s sort of right, because I certainly love it.
She also ensures fans that this song is just a sudden outburst of summer, and while it may sound very different from her other music…you should not fret! She hasn’t entirely swapped genres. Fortunately, if she did ever decide to switch up her sound, she could TOTALLY pull this style off. Girl sounds good on them horns.
New summer single for free!
Any day now I’ll be releasing my new summer pop single! It’s specially written for summer 2007 and all subscribes to the newsletter will be able to download it for free ahead of everyone else. So sign up if you’re not already a member.
For you who know me from last.fm you know it’s already been scrobbled and some of you have been nagging me on where to get a hold of it. It’s called “Blåa Linjen Hem” and is unusually enough in Swedish, but I’m sure all you english speaking folks will enjoy it anyway. So it’s pretty different from all my other stuff, but don’t be afraid that I’ve all of a sudden swopped genres.
This is simply an outburst of summer joy!

Summer heat puts wings on my feet.
Summer must be the worst time of the year to record an album.
My dicipline is running low when the sun is shining. One isn´t spoiled with warm weather here in the cold north so I´ve taken the opportunity to enjoy it while it lasts instead of sitting in my bunker.
Anyway, I haven´t been as lazy as you might think but I haven´t had any nice bits to put up for show here on the blog. Today´s been a really productive day, until I realized the battery in my guitar must be running out and some of the songs I´ve recorded today has an irritating loud buzz to them. It´s sad but I have to throw them away and record them again.
I´ve got a new lovely musician to add to my orchestra (isn´t myspace wonderful!), at least for this album. His name is Myles and he may be playing some (grand?) piano on some of the songs. Todays hit "Dominos" is just shipped off to get some beautiful piano instead of my strumming guitar, I can´t wait to hear what he´ll make of it.
That´s all for tonight folks, my shoulders are aching and I´m off to bed.
Enjoy a preview of "Dominos" here.
cheers Sofia
