SvD likes Clown

August 27, 2008

“Att 29-åriga Sofia Talvik har döpt sin skiva efter ett ökänt massmord är ingen fingervisning om stämningen som råder på hennes tredje ­album. Jonestown är istället ytterst harmonisk i sin form med finstämda och traditionella gitarrpoplåtar som utan att skämmas slänger ett öga eller två bort över Atlanten. Att Talvik denna gång har slagit sina påsar ihop med Tobias Fröberg är kanske anledningen till att låtarna nu fått på sig poppigare kostymer. Jonestown är en snyggt välskräddad skiva med Clown som albumets mest estetiskt utmanande spår. ”
Kristin Lundell Svenska Dagbladet

Loads of cool stuff today!

August 25, 2008

I’ve had a hectic day. This morning I woke up to several text messages from my friends telling me I’m on the cover of the two daily free-of-charge newspapers we have here in Sweden, Metro and City. After that I packed up my guitar and headed to the office of Sweden’s biggest newspaper Dagens Nyheter and guested them in their web TV cast, chatted with my fans and played a song live from the new album. One of my fans also allerted me on the chat that my blog on Aftonbladet.se is the third most read music blog in Sweden right now. That’s just awsome. So this is a happy day indeed.

March 23, 2008

universalSome of you know this was a B-side on my first single “Stop”, the song “New York, New York” that is. Anyways, after a long trip through California and Nevada I ended up in New York for some meetings. Then I headed back to cold and snowy Sweden (hey I thought it would be spring by now).
I had a lovely meeting at Universal and met with the cool rock band Nova Clutch in Brooklyn.

Promo tour in the US

February 12, 2008

sofia promoSo I’ve just arrived in San Francisco, the first stop on my US promo tour for my upcoming album. And no, sorry there won’t be a lot of gigs for you guys to check out, it’s mostly business this time, but I will share a few moments with you anyway.
The first thing scheduled was a photoshoot for Music Fashion Magazine and their “band fashion spread”. Talanted photographer Shelby Duncan made me pose with toy horses and San Franciscian signature windows.
Sofia promoCheck out her website here: www.shelbyduncan.com . We instantly made plans to meet up again in Los Angeles where she lives. These documentary pics from the shoot was taken by my man-ager ;-)
