New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Taking DIY to a whole new level, emerging Swedish indie pop act Soso wrote, recorded, and self-produced each track in the bedroom of her Stockholm apartment. The result is That Time I Dug So Deep I Ended Up In China which is released today - a record that is lyrically raw yet undeniably pop, and most of all, an intensely personal journey into the heart of Soso. Check out the "I Never Thought You'd Come In Summer" MP3 where it premiered with Refinery 29 or here (https://soundcloud.com/this-is-music/soso-i-never-thought-youd-come) and you can hear the full album streaming at AOL Spinner
"Soso shifts from an Adele-brand of defeatism to Beyoncé's confidence in just a few chords."
- Interview Magazine
"This is soooooooooooo good!!!"
- PerezHilton
"Soso is Swedish superpower composed of Monica Belluci's face, Robyn's voice and Adele's heartbreak."
- RCRD LBL
True to her DIY nature, Soso recently released her new video for album track " Happy People" as well as offering her debut album to fans for free one month ahead of scheduled release via The Pirate Bay. In only 3 DAYS Soso saw over 50K album downloads, 130K+ YouTube plays and brought over 200K fans to her website. A soulful and bittersweet song evoking an earlier time, when life was simple and free from complication, watch the " Happy People" video here.
Soso's debut dares to explore the skeletons we hide in the closet, all while set to an incessantly catchy soundtrack. That Time I Dug So Deep I Ended Up In China features single "Who's Gonna Love Me," a slow-building pop gem that battles intimate issues like insecurity and abandonment, with a "fuck-you" attitude. "Joaquin Phoenix" is a one-take-love-song to the decadent actor that Soso recorded impulsively after watching his mockumentary "I'm Still Here" in 2010. The record is alsocut with a number of lush preludes and semi-instrumentals, including "Sab Lackath," on which Soso recorded herself crying and edited it into rhythmic beats. It is clear that within the parameters of her technique, Soso truly invites us to her inner most private places. We dare you not to be moved.
