One could argue my iPod just needs a larger collection of songs, but when this morning it shuffled Maia Hirasawa‘s “Say Goodbye” twice in a row while I was cycling alongside the Amstel river, I just figured it used its supernatural powers to rebuke me for not letting you know about this song / this singer sooner. Although hearing it twice can hardly be considered a punishment, I do take note dear iPod!
So here goes: Maia’s the backup singer for Hello Saferide, but has produced a few lovely solo albums as well. Sweden: the musical gift that keeps on giving! Although in this particular case Japan deserves some credit as well, her father’s from Tokyo.
Here’s “Say Goodbye” from the 2007 album “Though, I’m just me”. And perhaps you’d like to listen to “You and me and everyone we know” (not to be confused with “Me and You and Everyone We Know“) or “Gothenburg” or “Roselin” as well. All equally sweet.
