Anna Ternheim
Separation road
Universal
To write singer/songwriter Anna Ternheim off as a one-hit-wonder who didn't even write her "hit" ("Shoreline", a Broder Daniel cover), is a bit cruel and not really that fair. I found her first album "Somebody outside" a bit uninteresting and "Seperation road" - her latest offering - does seldom raise itself above the mediocre mark, although I do think it's a better album than Ternheim's first. With the days getting colder and darker, songs such as "The loneliness is gone" and "Such a lonely soul" are a comfortable company, together with a cup of tea. Still, the ten songs on the album are in general a bit too obtuse to make me want to go back listening to them on any regular basis, no matter what the weather's like.
