The vast landscape of Sweden seems to be fertile landscape for great music. Not only is it home to many metal acts, it also breeds emotional, heartfelt songwriters like Frida Hyvonen. Frida is a piano player but she has taken to songwriting as no one else. Her songs don't sound like the typical female songwriter songs. No, she seems to have found her own voice and her own style. She probably has fellow Swede's The Concretes for her exposure and for her deal with Secretly Canadian. The signed her to their Licking Fingers label and released this album domestically. The songs are all quite diverse even though they pretty much just consist of Frida and her piano. "You Never Got Me Right" is probably the most rocking of the set and it is more than impressive. The next track, "Once I Was A Serene Teenaged Child" she sings about a cock against her thigh. Yeah, Frida could be considered the Swedish Tori Amos, sexy indeed. If you have been bored from todays female singers then I would recommend Hyvonen. She is able to add some great individualism to the tried and true piano ballads.
