Sarah Blasko has travelled to Sweden to record her third album.
The new tracks were penned at home in Sydney before she set off for a European tour. While in Europe Sarah decided to work with pop mastermind Bjorn Yttling. She’d noticed his name on the back of some of her favourite albums, including discs by Lykke Li and Camera Obscura, so she figured she’d pop the question.
“I sent him a letter and some music and within about a week he got back to me and said he was interested, so I went and visited him in Stockholm and we hit it off,” Sarah said in a statement.
“He showed me the great studios we could record in, he had some great ideas and a lot of enthusiasm and I just felt we could make a good record together. The snowy conditions also won me over.”
It has to make a nice change from Australia’s heatwaves!
Sarah should be in the studio for the next six weeks, but she’ll keep us updated on her progress through her blog.
