Nina Persson continues to get better and better as she gets older. She continues to improve as a musician and a songwriter with every new release. Shallow though it might make me seem, I also think she's more beautiful with each passing year. I like that she's added a bit more twang to her sound too; it fits her persona well as it seems like only country artists are allowed to age with such grace. Her duet partner Nicolai Dunger has had a more uneven career path, but his most recent work has been stellar and his voice melds perfectly on this particular piece. It's a bit on the sleepy side, as is the rest of "Colonia", but the two of them together on this piece is just too good.
A Camp - Golden teeth and silver medals (ft. Nicolai Dunger)
