Studio album debut by Annika Aakjær. It's a fine subtle collection of singer / songwriter, folk pop that has been almost completely unnoticed by the public in Denmark. She had little airplay on national radio, and presumably none on local radio stations. Still, she writes some fine and witty lyrics in a gentle and fragile singing voice accompanied by simple orchestration, which suits her music quite well. This is better, more talented and much more profound than e.g. Sys Bjerre.
The song "Tyk", which could be translated to 'fat' is here with reference to the state of having gained weight as the result of being impregnated, and it's a typical and witty self-ironic track in the better end.
Lille filantrop is a fine and promising debut.
