3rd solo studio album by Marie Key follows the same recipe of the previous and succesful second album De her dage from 2012 in a musical collaboration with producer, Anders Sommer. It's more than fine, personal songs about insecurity and relationships held in a tight spatial production. The album was met by positive reviews, and I believe the album nationally has sold more than well. I just find it too slick, too close to being just the expected follow-up to her great 2012 album. There are no surprises and not the same immediate stream of great songs as on the predecessor but it still contains some really fine songs. Yet, it's nowhere close to her weakest albums with the band, it just doesn't offer any noteworthy progression compared to her last album but it works nicely as a second part to the 2012 album as if stemming from the very same recordings. Sometimes you shouldn't fix what isn't broken and that notion is perhaps important when talking about music that simply implies more of the same, which isn't the same as just as great, and yet again, just adds to the artist's repertoire. 'Cause we really have to hand to Key, she sounds like herself and she's one of the best contemporary Danish acts.
Recommended.
