Studio debut album by CajsaStina Åkerström. The style is European pop with a twist of r&b, pop soul and sophisti-pop. It contains the song "Fråga stjärnorna" ['Ask the stars'], which undoubtedly is her so far biggest hit in most Scandinavian countries. It sounds much like songs by Lisa Nilsson but is fine and addictive compositions. Apart from that the album is bit dull, though. Sometimes shes sounds like Nilsson, and other times she sounds more like Eva Dahlgren, which points to the weakness of the album: she seems more preoccupied about playing music by her sources to her inspiration rather than being her own self.
