Anna Ternheim Interview
January 20, 2008
An interview with Anna Ternheim can be seen in the Featured Video section.
Anna is a singer/songwriter from Sweden. She has a beautiful voice; her lyrics often have a slightly dark tinge, and the musical arrangements are quite unique. She sings in English in a light and sexy accent.
In this interview she talks about the making of her Separation Road album, released in September 2006. The album is excellent and highly recommended.

More information about Anna can be found on her official sites:
