Poverina
Label: Minty Fresh
Release Date: May 22, 2007

Finnish singer/songwriter Astrid Swan has a new album out this week, Poverina. We’ve told you before, we don’t have any business reviewing female singer/songwriter stuff.

If you like Aimee Mann, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, feel free to listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments. Until then, here’s Astrid’s cover of The Killers’ “When You Were Young”

    I got into Astrid last February for whatever reasons and she blew me away (in one of those “not trying to blow you away” type ways). I went back to check and the track on a post I wrote at the time still works - check it out Greg, it’s fantastic - http://www.culturebully.com/archives/465

    Yeah, I have the album and listened through it a few times. For whatever reason, I cannot get into this kind of music. I written this a few times, but I seem to have an aversion to female singers. I know that’s stupid, but that’s why I’m upfront about it. She’s a great singer and the music is quality, it’s just not for me in the least.
