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.
My new single “As summers pass” from the album “Jonestown” has just been released and you can buy it online here:

USA tour
As you may know I’m playing the Lollapalooza in Chicago August 1st but I’m also doing a full tour the week before so if you can’t make it to Chicago, check out my website to see if I’ll be visiting your home town.
We’ve spent all day recording the video for “As summers pass”. Here’s som pics of me in one of my video outfits. The extraordinary dress is designed and sewn by Sanna Nyström. I love the big bow on the shoulder, it makes me look like a doll đ
… I’ll be dressed as a lamp shade! Nah, just kidding. The dress is going to be beautiful, and though it might look like a stripped lamp shade, this is actually a crinoline. Read more about crinolines here!
In a few weeks the first single from my upcoming album “Jonestown” will be released. We’re also releasing a video to the single and the preparations are in full progress. The talented designer/tailor Sanna Nyström will design a beautiful dress for me to wear in the video, and today we met up to discuss her thoughts about the design and take some measurements.
Here’s a sneak preview of the design.

I’ve been listening to The Killers album Sawdust. It’s an album of b-sides and covers. They made a great version of an old Kenny Rogers song called Ruby.
I found the original song and the video of Kenny Rogers performing it on www.youtube.com.
Watch and listen to it here and then download or listen to my soft mellow version.
KENNY ROGERS ROCKS!
