Totally free music spotlight!

The blog “Totally free music” writes a little something about my summer single. Click the text to read the full version:

“Song spotlight: Sofia Talvik Strawberries on my tongue
In one of the best uses of Twitter I have yet seen, Swedish singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sofia Talvik has made her new summer single, “Strawberries On My Tongue”, available for the “price” of one tweet. (…) Though it’s not yet summer anywhere on this planet, listening to “Strawberries On My Tongue” might make you feel like it is (even if you have a frost warning in your overnight forecast, as I do!). Happy listening!”

A face-lift for ear pain!

I did study french for two years in school, but unfortunately I don’t remember enough of it to read extensive texts. That’s why Google Translate is so handy, and it also adds a bit of humour to the web sites it translates as it isn’t always all that accurate. Just read this fantastic phrase about a song from “Jonestown”:

At The End returns with more musical usual Sofia: folk arrangements with strings to support, this beautiful haunting ballad is a face-lift for ear pain. ”

Maybe I’m wrong to smile at this poor translation, because I can tell that the blogger “With music in my mind” (click the link to read the review) is dead serious and full of emotion when he writes about “Jonestown” being one of his favourite albums of 2008. And I’m very happy to read the poor translation of a text that is probably beautifully written in it’s original language. It’s always wonderful to see that someone in another country found my music and likes it enough to blog about it. So cheers for that!

PS. A tip: Chinese is the funniest language to try out in translation tools, it makes no sense whatsoever! DS.

Singing for a free Burma

I recently joined up with the site friaburma.nu where you easily can donate money through a text message (sms) to help the struggle for freedom in Burma.

The result is a video of me performing one of the songs from my upcoming album live in a studio while being filmed. The song is called Arms and Armour (lyrics available on www.myspace.com/sofiatalvik ) and you can now watch the live video on friaburma.nu or directly here below:
