2nd studio solo album by Marie Key is indeed a nice refreshing Danish singer / songwriter release with an electronic hint. Marie Key ['cay] shines above most other Danish artists at the moment. Only Søren Huss, Love Shop, Turboweekend, Efterklang, and Mellemblond are able to produce noteworthy albums at a time where international trends seem too inspiring for the majority of Danish artists. Keys' debut album [earlier she has released two albums with Marie Key Band] I byen igen (2011) was not bad at all but this one is even better, as it appears to be more of a whole, she simply comes out a head above everyone else, and her new electronica touch makes it a fine electronic singer / songwriter release, so far only seen with the works of Mikael Simpson in Denmark.
Best release in 2012, so rare to hand that to a Danish album.
