Like a little mountain brook with the clearest water, sometimes floating still and sometimes purl, striding through small waterfalls; that’s how I feel when I listen to Maja Alderin’s voice. Already the first time I heard “Darlin'” it got to me. There’s something catching, touching, magical about Maja’s voice that I won’t even try to explain in words, as I may only make a mess of it for myself. Listen for yourself is probably the best advice.

She is a singer/songwriter with guitar in hand, even if she sits down in front of the piano sometimes as in “Til’ Your Heart Stops” below. Beautiful pop melodies that trips along, dynamic arrangements, and a light melancholy that doesn’t prevent the light and happy feelings in the music. A little inspiration from country sometimes and sometimes more dramatic, but… so beautiful. A voice to fall in love with.
