2 X Christmas charity

photo: Jonas Åkerlund
Christmas is a time to do good deeds and I’ve stocked up on them this year! MQ (one of Sweden’s largest clothing companies) has joined forces with the Red Cross this Christmas in the campaign “Give a little bit” and I’m very happy to be a part of it. There will be a commersial on TV with 16 Swedish artists and we’re all giving our fees to the Red Cross.

I’m also, as usual each year, releasing a Christmas single. But this time I hope you will all visit Stadsmissionens website (Stadsmissionen helps homeless people in Sweden) and donate a gift by text message. If you do that you will get my Christmas single “A Carol for the Lonely” as a cellphone signal directly to your phone. The single will be available as mp3 here on my website as well.

New video released

So you thought my last music video was retro with its 50’s theme? Well you aint seen nothing yet! This is the new video for my single “Clown” and this time I decided I would do it all by myself. So I did all the make-up and styling and filmed it (yes I used a camera stand). Then I cut it and edited it. But I’m not ready to throw away Jonas’ fabulous producer skills just yet, I did have him help me creating the “burn-out” effect on the last few frames of the vid

This is the first music video I’ve ever made and the second video I’ve made..ever (you’ve probably seen the behind the scenes video to “My James Dean”). I was inspired by old pictures and the creepy sense of the circus that the TV series “Carnivale” captured so well. The entire video was shot in my bedroom (but I won’t do a Pamela just yet), and the fab hat and stick was borrowed from my friend Theresia, they used to belong to her grandpa.

CD of the week in Canada

My international success is continuing! The Canadian online Music Zine Riveting riffs has just published a review of “Jonestown” and not a short one! They even graced “Jonestown” with the title “CD of the week”.

“Although she is Swedish, Sofia Talvik’s understanding of the English language and her ability to craft sensitive, emotive verses in English, should make it easier for her to realize a big breakthrough in the North American music market in 2009. She already has all the other tools, pretty, flawless vocals, and a knack for impeccable phrasing.”

Musical Discoveries praises Jonestown

Musical Discoveries has made a really consistent review of “Jonestown” and took the opportunity to ask me a few questions while they were at it.

“Her crystalline vocals soar above arrangements as the album develops into its full splendor. (…) Jonestown demonstrates a significant artist development and an excellent launch point for the next phase of Sofia’s career.”
