"I work for Gap Inc. and each month they send us a new tape for us to play on the sales floor. When I first heard Somebody Else I coulda swore it was Madonna but I knew it wasn't because I know EVERYTHING she sings. Sounds really good to me, I fully intend on getting the single and possibly the CD. I've never heard of Tekla before...Tony"

Fantastic

"Tekla is a Swedish singer, with two non-English Swedish albums ("Tekla" and "Oranga Blad") under her belt (only released on Sweden). She has two US releases, "Cactuses" and "Somebody Else", the former being difficult to find. The title single from "Somebody Else" does sound Madonna-"Ray of Light"-esque (which is certainly not a bad thing), but is supported by an album full of very good tracks, different in nature, but complementary in style. A very strong vocalist, the feel on this album is in-line with 90's style "alternative" female artists, without the "anger". A single pass-thru listen was enough to make me seek out her other albums. Amazon has samples of all tracks on this album you won't be disappointed with a complete listen-thru. The only reason you haven't heard of Tekla before is due to marketing and timing - she is a great singer, this is a great album, you won't regret the purchase."

Wonderfull songwriter and a beautyfull voice.

"At the first listening the production and sound can be percieved as a bit Madonnalike, as a previous poster suggested. But after a few listenings this cd really grows on you. This Lady/Witch is much more personell and urgent then Madonna.
All the songs are written by her self, and she is a very good songwriter. Her voice is almost too beatyfull for her own good.
So I really recommend this cd and give it 5 stars.Cheers."
