“…an incredibly gifted singer songwriter.” – Riveting Riff
"It's a voice that sounds as desolately soulful as Joni Mitchell did in her glory days." - Bohuslänningen.se Swedish blog
Soft, airy, and graceful, Swedish Singer/Songwriter Sofia Talvik is the next rising star from Sweden. With her fourth album "Florida" Sofia takes her sound a step further and mixes her Scandinavian heritage with the mystique of the American south, like the chants of black magic but tainted with the lingering sunshine of the Florida sun she takes us on a journey unlike any other.
Sofia Talvik sings songs touching on themes of love and heartbreak, as well as a healthy dose of anecdotal stories from her own life. In 2005, Talvik released her debut album, Blue Moon, too much acclaim, followed by 2007’s Street of Dreams, on which she sings, “it’s just love, how hard can it be“, in a beautiful duet with veteran British performer, Bernard Butler. Her voice shines through the dark tones of dramatic, lush orchestrations and the haze of reverb like a ray of liquid luminescence. Her third album “Jonestown” will remind you of Goldfrapp, Pulp, Nico, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Belle & Sebastian, Aimee Mann, Tori Amos, Burt Bacharach, and yet it sounds entirely original and, more importantly, rings true.
Release date is 12 May, 2010. Physical CD's are only available at http://sofiatalvik.com/shop
