Sofia Talvik’s new Christmas album Wrapped in Paper has received exceptional critical attention since its release, earning reviews, radio airplay from the BBC and NPR, and a feature in The New York Times.
“She sings with an angelic voice, and the music fits her style perfectly. It is almost unearthly at times, and the songs are almost so beautiful they border on painful.”
— Spill Magazine (4/5)
“Seemingly a response to the attention economy of social media and the sensationalism of the news cycle, Talvik calls for peace — the true meaning of this season, regardless of faiths or traditions — while wars, conflicts, and political frays are fought all around us.”
— The Bluegrass Situation, Seasonal Musical Favorites
“Wrapped in Paper collects her efforts since 2018, as she sings about snow, solitude, love and the passage of time.”
— The New York Times“With a strong flavour of traditional folk and a beautiful voice that sits between frosty sweetness and the strength of protest, this song is a powerful letter to Santa.”
— Listen with Monger
The album has also featured on blogs and radio shows from the BBC to NPR’s Great American Folk Show.
