Helena Josefsson to release her second album in February

Helena Josefsson’s second solo album will be called “Kyss Mej” (Kiss me) and will be released in February 2011. The album was produced by one-and-only Christoffer Lundquist.

It has been an exciting journey to write this album. The first time in Swedish and the first time I made music in the computer. A new world has opened for me! Suddenly, I can show you more of what I hear inside my head without being limited by my piano playing. I dared to try everything possible.

The album is also about being a mother and how everything around you is changing then.

Since I’ve become a mother feels as if everything has started all over again. It is as if I was born to a new world. Now our new life has started and we have to learn everything once again. Can you love someone too much? How to become a family? And when should we catch up with everything? My little boy makes me so very happy every day!

A new single “Nån Annanstans, Nån Annan Gång” is being played on Swedish P4 radio. You can also here this song here.
