“This is a top recording for fans of Americana folk/rock or bands such as Evanescence, Cranberries, Nina Gordon, and Jace Everett.” ~ Matthew Forss, Inside World Music
Washington-based, Solveig & Stevie are Solveig Whittle and Stevie Adamek. Solveig is the lead vocalist and lyricist, while Stevie is a musician with producer credits. Zombie Lover is an album with seven songs that contain mostly Solveig’s vocals throughout. The music represents pop and rock concoctions that contain a good degree of electronic, folk, dance, and alternative elements. There are guitars, drums, electronic programming, bass, and flutes that fill in the melodies. “Zombie Lover” opens with a grungy bass intro and heady rhythm section with a dark groove and female vocals that are rather light, yet authoritative.
