2nd and final studio album by Marie Key Band after which songwriter, composer, and lead vocalist Marie Key initiated a more succesful 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.
