Singled Out: Sofia Talvik “Christmas Train” Interviews Music Features by Brian Carroll - December 13, 20190 Mariah Carey. Michael Buble. Bing Crosby. All names that we associate with Christmas music. Perhaps songs we hear all too often and have a thick layer of cheese smeared across them. Enter Sofia Talvik with a new holiday tune that tells the story of the holiday season through a different lens. A western vibe and rolling train rhythm enter. Spooky guitar notes ring in the background and Talvik’s voice echoes across the landscape weaving a tale that is cautionary about the less wholesome side of the season. Check it out below. Who: Sofia Talvik From: Gothenburg, Sweden Song: “Christmas Train” Latest Record: Paws of a Bear What About It: “As you might know, if you have followed me for a while I write a Christmas song every year. And my goal is to show a different side of Christmas than what we usually hear. So I always focused on the darker side of Christmas and have this year as well. The new single “Christmas Train” (just premiered on Americana Highways) is a modern take on the Krampus story, (Santa’s evil counterpart that punishes rather than spreads joy and presents). In the form of a thundering train that will steal dreams, as well as lives away from everyone in its path.” Christmas Train by Sofia Talvik Share on Facebook Share Share on TwitterTweet Share on Pinterest Share Share on LinkedIn Share Share on Digg Share
