2nd and final studio album by Marie Key Band before songwriter, composer and lead vocalist Marie Key initiated her solo career. Most track are credited Key solely, which may have led to her trying out a career on her own. The style is much like on the debut just with a more up-tempo pop beat on top of the folk pop compositions. Although, the album clearly betters the debut, it's still not really fine. Best tracks here are "Almindelig dag" co-written by Anne Linnet and "Går hun ikke meget for sig selv?" but the rest doesn't match the same level, and it remains a fine attempt, although, it's not really anywhere near what Marie Key later released as solo artist.
