Soft, airy, and graceful, Sweden's sweet Sofia Talvik sings songs touching on themes of love and heartbreak, as well as a healthy dose of anecdotal stories from her own life. Her vocals are backed by minimal instrumentation, including an acoustic guitar, cellos, double bass, soft percussion and sometimes piano, to create melodic stories that reveal the simple world of a 29-year-old songwriter traversing an array of emotions. In 2005, Talvik released her debut album, Blue Moon, to much acclaim, followed by 2007's Street of Dreams, on which she sings, It's just love, how hard can it beœ, in a beautiful duet with veteran British performer, Bernard Butler. Have a listen to her latest fairytale hymn, Diamonds. The song is so light and magical - and her voice so delicate - that you could easily find yourself whisked away into the sweet, sugary air of her world.
