Marit Bergman has a new website

Marit Bergman has given her website a much-welcome facelift to coincide with the release of her new album "The tear collector": http://www.maritbergman.net/
Good to see that the Mubito system is no longer heavy on frames and URLs that make no sense.

MP3: Marit Bergman - This is the year

Really, this time I mean it! I've been working hard on this website update for something like two months now and of course I had to push extra hard over the weekend to get things up today, but I'm okay with that. Even if I wasn't able to get every little thing ready in time. As for Marit Bergman, this might just be her year too. After running her song subscription service throughout 2008, she's put together a full-length album called "The tear collector" for release on March 25 and this might just be her chance to break through in the US. That's what I'm hoping for anyway. At the very least, I'd like to see her leave her second home in NYC to play a show on the west coast.
