So these last few days have been like something out of a twilight zone episode, I have moved, been on tv4, Nyhetsmorgon. Between the packing and cleaning and getting up at four in the morning to do the soundcheck on tv4(madness!)I havn´t written a single word, no energy what so ever. Tomorrow I am performing on p3 livesession and after that the wheel is slowing down a notch this week.. I am still pleased with the reviews and happy about the response from folks around me. I am going to suck it up and go to bed and tomorrow I´ll do some cleaning in my old apartment before my soundcheck on p3.
Good night!

Today my album “Hurricane” was released and I couldn´t sleep last night.. The moment that everybody gets to take part of the entire album, for a while it was my own but now it belongs to all of you. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the album! Over all the reviews were good, I couldn´t have asked for more. It is a strange situation to be in, someone else is passing judgement on my work and it is all a part of it.. Here´s one of the reviews, in swedish though, I got 4 out 5.. A good start indeed!

Tomorrow the album is released and I am waiting to see the reviews.. I knew that making a personal album like “Hurricane” is was a risk, that being too personal could be offensive. But doing something else would be like being someone else. I´m writing about universal experiences, we have all felt the pain of a love lost and we can all relate to it in simular ways. There´s strength in being honest and bare, it has very often been something that men who write music have been celebrated for, Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams and most recently Bon Iver, strangely enough it is seen as more romantic than if a woman does it.. I am speeking in broad terms. Life is personal and if we hide our experiences we deny ourselves the knowledge they bring us. I will always be personal and I am confident that those who listen to what I do and can relate will find great strength and for a moment feel less alone and held
My ego is waiting for punches or embraces, which ever I get, I am ready to learn
Ps: Here´s a little something I did for Press2Play. Enjoy!
