Anna Järvinen
Jag fick feeling
Häpna
An ex-girlfriend got me hooked on the brilliance that is Granada a few years back, and I probably should have expected that Anna Järvinen could achieve an album of this caliber, but, to be honest, I was blindsided. Andres Lokko of SvD compared Järvinen's album to both Van Morrison's "Astral weeks" and Håkan Hellström's "Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg", and I'm not sure you can get much higher praise than that. "Jag fick feeling" is definitely one of the sparkling gems of a fantastic year for music. Every week my Top 10 list is changing. With the way things have been unfolding, most bands had better hope for a slow November and December if they are to retain a glorified position on my Best of 2007 list; Anna Järvinen can rest a little easier having created an album so effortlessly brilliant that it is almost infuriating. My marriage proposal is in the mail, Anna. Just think about it, okay?
