MP3: Elin Ruth Sigvardsson - The war

Elin Ruth Sigvardsson desperately wants to be the next Sophie Zelmani. Trouble is, she lacks the gravitas to pull it off. She's got the trapping of the genre down with that haunted guitar and vocal and those despondent lyrics, but I don't buy it. Elin is far too nice sounding to be convincing. I don't want to be completely disparaging though - Elin does fine as a pop artist and I really do like the new single "Antidote", but the further she reaches, the more she falls short. What makes "Antidote" work is the unexpected irony of such a sweet girl singing about revenge and murder. The music gets darker to match and my attention wanes. Know your strengths!
