“We all know the Swedes can write a mean pop songs – but what about folk songs? Well, one artist is nonchalantly transferring the charm and fun found in most pop songs into sweet, acoustic twang. Sofia Talvik, brings bubbly blonde ambition to this raw and often quiet genre with a captivating breath of fresh air.” Ourstage.com about Sofia Talvik’s album ‘Florida’
Sofia Talvik is the next rising star from the Sweden. She’s emerged like a Lady of the forest bringing a new interesting side to folk music. Where other artists surrender to the mainstream, Sofia makes her own paths through the musical underbrush of today. Her soft and airy music has been recognized by music lovers and critics all over the world letting her tour the US several times and making her the first ever Swedish female singer to play at the Lollapalooza festival in 2008.
“It’s not often that an album takes your breath away, and I hate to sound hyperbolic, but “Florida” actually has several “Oh my god!” moments of sheer beauty.” So writes CDbaby about Sofia’s new album, but who am I to tell you what to think, put the CD in your player and decide for yourself if this isn’t the most intriguing artist you’ve heard so far.
