2nd studio album by Veronica Maggio released on Universal and produced by Oscar Linnross is a fine Swedish pop soul album. The music is sweet, blue-eyed happy-go-lucky music with nothing but joy and fresh air. I bought the album some time after acquiring Satan i gatan (2011) as it was on sale. She hasn't got the most fantastic vocal range but she certainly has charm and an undefineable lightness, which makes me think of her as a clone of Lisa Ekdahl (the tiny light voice), Nina Persson of The Cardigans, and a more energetic Lisa Nilsson. Very much like Persson, she has a certain star quality of fragile lightness to her voice without being a brilliant singer. The best tracks are when she makes fun of everyday-life, i.e. "Ingen kommer undan (Inte ens i Sverige)" and "Stopp" - a track that almost forecasts her Scandinavian hit single "Jag kommer" (Satan i gatan, 2011).
Overall, it's a good attempt but generally the album lacks great songs.
