Album Notes

Irina Bjorklund...

-... wrote her first song at age 7 - the rough translation from the swedish name "Om Hundarna och Kattorna kan, sa kan Jag" would be "If the Dogs and the Cats can do it, so can I". The song had 11 verses.

-... is more known as an actress from Europe - but lives in Los Angeles since 1999, and has 7 american indies hitting the festival circuit simultaneously in 2006.

-... saw the french movie "Delicatessen" at the age of 16, and decided that she would make the Musical Saw her pension plan, just in case the acting thing wouldn't work out...

-... finally got the Saw she had dreamt of for her birthday a few years back, learned how to play it, and has ever since been incorporating it in her song writing and performance.

-... grew up in Finland, France and Sweden, and uses the languages of each country as she writes and performs, along with english and russian.

-... collaborated with composer Peter Fox on the soundtrack of the feature "Red is the Color of..." (in which she also plays the lead) in 2004. The pair decided to continue their collaboration, and have now successfully been performing live in LA, and are releasing their first CD "Oh l'Amour" through CDBaby - an ode to Irina's native Finland, and her much beloved France - the CD booklet has a mystical storyline, taking You on a journey from one song to another, guiding You through the landscapes of Karelia on the russian border to a smokey late night bar with all it's characters in Montmartre in Paris.....
