ANNA JARVINEN - Jag Fick Feeling
Jag Fick Feeling is the debut solo release from Sweden’s Anna Jarvinen, formerly of the band Granada. Even though the lyrics are in Swedish, Jarvinen sweetly sings her atmospheric pop in such a universal, heartfelt way, eliminating a need to understand exactly what she’s saying.
Jarvinen’s voice is gentle, yet piercing, much in the same style of The Sunday’s Harriet Wheeelr or The Cardigan’s Nina Persson, and it commands your attention from her first breath. The music has a ditsinctively understated acoutsic feel, based more in a traditional roots rock sound that could just as esaily be found in southern California rather than Stockholm. My favorite track is Svensktalande Battre Folk, a driving pop song that rambles along wtih a 60’s styled jazzed-out flute line and a catchy sing-along hook in the chorus, even though I couldn’t sing along with the lyrics no matter how hard I tried.
