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.
Today I met up with artist and producer Tobias Fröberg to start recording demos for my third album. I’m quite excited that Tobias might be producing it as I feel he can bring something new to my songs. And he’s got a microphone from the 30’s that looks like an exhaust pipe, how weird is that? but it does sound really nice. Tobias is also about to finish his third album and the material sounds terrific, check out his last album on www.myspace.com/tobiasfroberg
I do buy guitars to match my shoes, it’s expensive but so worth it 😉
…naaaah, but a friend of mine actually sold his guitar today to buy a pair of new adidas. How about that… 😕
So today I'm off to my old home town Gothenburg, to shoot the video for my upcoming single Mother's Way, Father's Way.
My very talanted friend Emelie Asplund is going to produce it. She's also the photographer that supplies me with beautiful press pics.
Here's a photo of me and Emelie when we were in the Phillippines last year (she's going to kill me when she finds out I've posted it here. 
)
…you can watch me in Kanal Lokal (local TV) today around 3pm (kl 15). Me and my band will be playing a couple of songs and I’ll have a chat with Anton Körberg.
I'm counting days til the 8th of november. That's when the album should, and hopefully will be, mixed and finished.
Today we added the last instrumental parts, a wonderful arrangement for three saxophones written by Hanna for the song "will you call me when you're sober". Now hold it, I know what you're thinking; "hmmm…saxophones, you mean like early Sting or perhaps that funky sound of Tina Turner?" But I promise you, it's nothing like that at all. Actually the saxophone parts on this album has sort of become my favourite sound. You rarely hear it in popmusic today, at least not like this.
Hanna (who plays the soprano saxophone) brought her friend Nis (who plays the baryton) and I barely had time to say "saxophone" before they were finished with the recordings and out the studio door. I'm so lucky to have such talanted musicians playing on this album, but then again, they're so lucky to have such a great producer (me!) hehe. Just kidding, but it's coming out just wonderful som I'm very happy with it.
Now, it may have been a quick recording this afternoon, but you will have all the time in the world to enjoy it as I'm posting a sample for you to listen at.
And that's all for today folks!
