Editorial Reviews

Her Fourth Release.top Five in Sweden as of Feb 2002. Says her Web Site:'sophie Still Writes Songs the Way that Only She Can Write Them. On this CD She Has Paid More Attention to Detail. Lars Halapi Has also Rearranged her Sound Slightly - the Rhythm Section is More Central and the Silence, the Pauses and Breaks, have Become Important Instruments for Turning Experience Into Musical Expression. ' If You Like Jewel Or Cowboy Junkies, Or Any Melodic Pop and Classic Singer Songwriters,you'll Love Sophie.

If you listen to Suzanne Vega and /or Jewel, you have to listen to Sophie Zelmani. I'm sure you will fall in love with her folk rock ballads/ mid tempo songs and her innocent voice. For some people "Sing and Dance" might lack of upbeat tracks. I find this relatively slow pace mesmerising. Her albums have all that classic and timeless feeling.

"How's your heart doing", "Going home", "People", "Moonlight" are perfect examples of the immediate familiar feeling you get when listening to Sophie. I would like to highlight "Once", the beautiful duet with Freddie Wadler, another Swedish singer. The title track is a litle bit more upbeat and country folk. "Yes I am" is an instant sing along.

When I purchased her first album I had never heard about her. I listened to it three times, and since I'm chasing her further releases Wanna bet with me you will soon be singing & dancing with her too?

Say you take a shy and pretty girl in her early twenties and some innocent songs into the hands of a male producer it could easily end up like some of the other "lonely female singer songwriter with a good voice and a guitar". But Sophies fourth album (with Lars Halapi as producer as always) still has more than most, her strong songs has great melodies and the lyrics isn't far behind. Sure it isn't Dylan or Waits but with a voice that is so beautifully close recorded (all her CDs are of audiophile quality) that these songs really makes an impact aswell as a difference from the rest.
