Skellefteådebut för Sofia Talvik.

Enligt Trästockfestivalens hemsida har Sofia Talvik ett ”välförtjänat rykte om att vara väldigt bra live”.
– Har jag det ryktet hoppas jag att jag kan leva upp till det, säger hon och skrattar.

I told you so!

It's the money shot! reviews Blåa Linen Hem from an English perspective:

sofia talvik: new single "blåa linjen hem".

SOFIA TALVIK makes me wish that I knew Swedish.

She just released her summer single "Blåa linjen hem". I couldn't tell you what it's about. It could be about anything from clubbing baby seals or clubbing with baby seals. Despite this, Sofia ensures us English speaking fans that we'll love it no matter what we think the lyrics are, and she's absolutely right in this case. Well, at least she's sort of right, because I certainly love it.

She also ensures fans that this song is just a sudden outburst of summer, and while it may sound very different from her other music…you should not fret! She hasn't entirely swapped genres. Fortunately, if she did ever decide to switch up her sound, she could TOTALLY pull this style off. Girl sounds good on them horns.

Review from BluesBunny

 BluesBunny takes on the new album and gives it 4 carrots: 

Sofia Talvik & the Tallboys, Street of Dreams, Makaki Music 2007 

"Street of Dreams" is the second album from Sweden's Sofia Talvik. This album is 13 tracks of quirky love songs that run deeper than they seem.

Highlight was the single "It's Just Love" featuring Bernard Butler. Swooping and dramatic, this song is a convincing demonstration of the talent of those involved. Not that the rest of the album disappoints. "I Won the First Prize Tonight" sounds like a pleasant folk song but the lyrics are altogether darker. "Holding Your Hand" also sounds lightweight and fluffy but is in fact a touching commentary on the search for a soulmate. Ending on the bluesy "So Good to Me", she tells us of the search for happiness once more. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Ms Talvik does not give us easy answers. There are no simplistic love songs here. Things do not often work out but we should never give up hope.

Charmingly performed and a fine example of the genre, this album makes for a pleasant and enjoyable listen. We think that a lot of people will like this release. Nothing offends here and you get a nice, warm feeling from it but it does bear up to closer investigation. There is a lot more substance there than the first listen indicates. Well worth tracking down therefore and adding to the collection. Available from her website.
