Studio album debut by Marie Key Band consisting of lead vocalist Marie Key Kristiansen, Jakob Thorkild on guitars, Marie Louise von Bülow on double bass, and with Mads Andersen on drums & percussion. The title is an original way to point out how her surname is pronounced - the title translates to "Pronounced ['Cay']" with reference to the surname of Marie Key (not as in English 'key') ['kee / ki']. All eleven tracks are credited Marie Key with Marie Key Band credited all arrangements.
The music is a sort of combo of folk pop and singer / songwriter based compositions focusing on the simplistic narratives by Marie Key about humorous sides of ordinary life. Although, I don't find it particular entertaining - it has some fine moments sounding as a combo of Swedish jazz pop band Bo Kaspers Orkester and other Scandinavian bands playing folk pop with elements of either jazz, and rhythm & blues, only... somewhat indistinct and generic in the long run but nevertheless with hints of promises.
