SOFIA-MAIL - New Alligator Video

**New video for ‘King of the Willow Tree’ > ** I have a lovely new official video for my song ‘King of the Willow Tree’ from my new album ‘Florida’. The video is a beautiful tale of two alligators’ love life (maybe one of them is the albino one on my album cover!?). It’s made by Dan Turesson . Check out Dan’s youtube profile here to see more of his work, he makes a lot of animated videos and this video he made for me is really soooo lovely! **CDBaby Editor’s Pick – Sofia Talvik: Florida > ** USA’s largest indie distributor CD Baby > has posted a review of my latest album “Florida”. And they LOVE it. 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. Both joyful and melancholic, Sofia’s voice is the star, while perfectly twangy Nashville guitar backed by lush orchestrations, loping drums, and occasional electronic elements propel the songs along gently. While not sounding exactly like any one artist, this album… calls to mind everything from classic Nancy Sinatra to Belle & Sebastian to Rufus Wainwright. The references to the American south are plentiful and it’s fascinating to hear how the music of the region gets filtered through her Scandinavian sensibilities. Finally and equally noteworthy is the stellar production of the album, which is done entirely by Sofia herself. It’s a wonderfully effervescent album, and I know I’ll be listening to it a lot this summer.

Swedish pop maven Sofia Talvik’s “Jonestown” was an absolute favorite of ours at CD Baby. Now she’s back with an equally captivating collection of tunes. Where “Jonestown” was brooding, lush, and orchestral, “Florida” finds this stylistic chameleon flirting with the American South, voodoo, twang, moonshine, and gothic mystique. **All my Florida Playlists!** I’ve recently posted ten great Spotify playlists for you all to enjoy. **Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist Florida – Playlist#9 Florida – Playlist **»»»»»»»»>
