Album Of The Week

"Musiken är tajt och välspelat. Ett album som låter sig talas om som noveller att lyssna på helt enkelt.
Fin musik med en vass sånginsats från Su Andersson. Albumet är en form av reflektion över vad som skett de senare åren vid pandemins tidevarv. Su Andersson vet hur man skriver och skapar bra musik av idag."

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Su Andersson sjunger med både styrka och djup. Hennes röst förmår att bära både innehåll och melodier, rösten varieras ut och inifrån varje låt, melodi och text. Sångerna är berättande poesi, poetiska berättelser, om och ur olika erfarenheter".

- Bengt Eriksson / HiFi & Musik -

"Su Anderssons rötter står att finna i folk pop, americana och ett par gånger i rockigt beat. Hon sjunger skapligt och i vissa fall lämpar sig till och med omdömet förträffligt. Än mer imponerad över kvaliteten på låtar, hur varje enskilt självständigt verk speglas i andra, ges skiftande utformning, skiftande karaktär. Samtliga låtar och texter är signerade kvinnan från Göteborg."

- Mats Hallberg / Kulturbloggen -

"Su Andersson har gått vidare med en djärvare framtoning och med ett, i mitt tycke, stort självförtroende vad gäller text och musik, men framförallt på sång."

- Börje Holmén / Musikbloggen 67 -

"It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure to listen to an album that was exquisite from start to finish. It's all exciting, exploratory music by a resplendent Swedish singer Su Andersson who sets her melodies against the backdrop of intriguing, compelling words and music with stark storytelling. Add her authoritative vocal style and it’s instantly likable. Quite a fluid performance. Filled with a healthy component of tonality, phrasing and intonation."

- John Apice / Americana Highways -

"As 'Brave' reveals, the human desire to transcend dread and emptiness in times of hardship can lead not only to acts of courage, but can also point the way to new artistic breakthroughs. In a world of angst and war, with 'Brave' Su Andersson gives music fans reasons to be optimistic and brave."

- Russell Trunk / Exclusive Magazine -

"Su Andersson's ' Brave' is a rich fabric of rock, folk, country, blues, zydeco, and more, not what one would expect, but what one wouldn’t expect, Andersson’s deep and husky voice delivering a set of most thoughtful lyrics, altogether making 'Brave' far outshine her previous effort. Adding to this intriguing set is the packaging, the CD is housed in a small hardbound book, each track accompanied by its lyrics and a unique graphic illustration. All taken, a superb and powerful set that crosses many musical boundaries like they aren’t even there."

- Peter Thelen / Exposé Online -

"Su Andersson's 'Brave' finds the celebrated Swede going deeper and the result sets a new standard of musical excellence in the modern pop rock era."

- Robert S Silverstein / Roots Music Report -

"Su Andersson’s 'Brave' is an album that follows in the great assertive tradition of progressive folk, meeting the blue jeaned coffee house muster with a distinctive voice and acoustic guitar. I suspect this Swedish singer songwriter could even win the approval of Telemachus, the forever famous cat on the disheveled and openly honest cover of Carole King’s brilliant album, 'Tapestry'. Put simply, 'Brave' is a wonderful album worthy of a cat’s stare that demands sincerity, a few sublime melodies, the promise of a Friskies treat, and the occasional oddball twist that adds an unleavened curl into the deep roots of these earthen, rejuvenated folk (and sometimes rock!) grooves."

- Bill Golembeski / Something Else! -

"Out of Sweden comes singer songwriter Su Andersson, who delivers, after the 2 corona years, a new album titled 'Brave'. She has been making music for several decades, and along with the help of a list of other guest musicians, Su recorded a nice Neil Young-ish singer songwriter pop rock album. Vocally sounding very nasal, it reflects a clear American influence and also has very slight Stevie Nicks influences."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"After the release of her debut record, 'Train Stories', in which she reports about her journey by train trips through America, Swedish singer songwriter Su Andersson has returned to Gothenburg. She found the inspiration in the lonely corona pandemic period to write new songs about the importance of connecting to other people. 10 of these compositions ended up on the tracklist of her 2nd album 'Brave', for which the Swedish multi instrumentalist Henning Sernhede played all instruments and also joined Su for the important task as album producer.“

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -

"The result is brave, indeed, the album shining as befits one of the highlights of post pandemic landscape, a brilliant milestone of 2022."
