Three years ago I wrote about Lo Kivikas as a solo artist. The year after she began collaborating with legendary Bosse Skoglund to record a new album, which later on resulted in the album “Sister Blue” and the band project InLOve.

It’s an intimate story with slow, soft rock and Americana and, as the name suggests, with blues vibes, emphasized by Roland Nilsson’s wonderful harmonica. Even though I feel that the sound is a little to compressed here and there for my taste, overall it’s a strong and emotional album. There’s a lot of room here for Lo’s special voice and expression, a voice that reminds me of Marianne Faithful.

You can listen to the album on Spotify and follow InLOve on Facebook.
