It´s that time of the year again and we want to celebrate together with you. After we started to record and tour with CWMF, we have seen so many beautiful churches and concert halls and we have met so many wonderful human beings. For this we are all grateful and we always long for the next encounter.

12 years and six albums later, I asked first myself and then my label boss Siggi Loch if it would make any sense to record a number seven. "Why not", he said. "Maybe it would be a good idea to go beyond what you have done so far and include songs from more countries around the world."

I asked my longtime musical companion and friend Johan Norberg if he would take on the task of doing the research for the album and he accepted on the spot. He came up with beautiful songs from many different countries and what you hear on number seven is a result of that research, but it also shows the incredible talent of each and everyone in our group.

Eva, Ida, Jeanette, Jessica, Sharon, Jonas and Johan all have their unique way of interpretation and their personalities really shine on this album. I allowed my self to do the same. A lot of fun we had recording the music and we hope that you will enjoy our efforts to go beyond the expected. Each and every song has a special meaning to us, maybe for you as well.
