Sweden has already given us a ton of great pop music (the Cardigans, Cinnamon, Eggstone etc.) But there is still room for more as the debut album by rising star Sofia Loell shows. At 21 years of age she already is proving herself to be a formidable songwriter capable of creating an entire album's worth of very catchy tunes. Although her production is very "today", she owes little to the Brittany or Destiny's Child school of tired, R&B based music that's the glut of the airwaves. Instead, she provides jangly, up-tempo pop with just enough of a rock & roll feel to keep you awake on the road, along with some interesting chord changes to keep things interesting. If you want a collection of songs that sounds like somebody's greatest hits album this is it!

The first thing I thought was that this was the lead singer for the Corrs. Even though Sofia Loell is from Sweden, there is an Irish accent to her voice. She uses tin wistle sounds as well as Middle East influences now and then. Altogether, it is a wonderful, upbeat album that can be played over and over.

Sofia's music is enchanting and inspiring. Her lovely voice and catchy empowering lyrics bring a smile to your face. I can't say enough to recommend Sofia's music. Right Up Your Face is a wonderful collection of songs that is cheerful and hard to resist playing over and over and over again. All the tracks are great which is so rare. Yeah, Sofia is magnificent and so irresistible!

I like 3/4 of the songs, the other 1/4-ehhh. Defenitly contemporary. Listen to preview, she has a mellow tone.

I'm into a lot of "chick" music (Nova, Amos, Bush, Martin, Sage, Garbage, curve,Leave's Eyes, dreamside etc...)

this album is the worst piece of junk I ever made the mistake of buying; if you like any of the above artists you will HATE this album

poorly recorded, bad writting and below average vocals
