Studio album debut by Marie Key Band consisting of vocalist Marie Key Kristiansen, Jakob Thorkild on guitar, Marie Louise von Bülow on bass, and with Mads Andersen on drums. The title is an original way to point out how her surname is pronounced - the title translates to "Pronounced ['Cay']".
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. I don't find it particular entertaining - it sounds much like 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, just... indistinct and a wee bit boring in the long run.
