If I could
Give anything I could
If my thoughts could do you good

If I could help you with
This spart of life you've got to live
You could load your weight on me

If I meant to you
What you mean to me
Your fight would also me
The greatest thing
You could do for me

If I knew
When your pain be shining through
I could be watching over you

If I'd been close
I could reach the things to use
And know just what to do

One thing I will do
To never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Good voice, and good supporting musicians
In one week from now I will see her live on stage at Konzerthaus Dortmund.

Totally not!

The Swedish Lana Del Ray?

Considering how many beautiful women there are in Sweden, I've always thought that Swedish men must have won some kind of genetic lottery. 
 And a lot of these beauties seem to have very nice voices, too!

 Snap, Mello, mary J loves the sounds flowing ,loud enough to drown out the sound of the American jets practising manouveuvers with some  of our fly boys. Chinese threatening to get a yen for the dollar to lose fuel barrelage stranglehold , for one.

Yeah, what's up with that? Impressive the sounds coming out of that little country.

As beautiful Sophie Zelmani is, I believe this photo may be of some Brazilian model hired  to pose in a music video.
 
You may be right, MinMan.
The pic appears to be lifted from this video:

I replaced it with a bona fide SZ pic.  ; )

LOL!  I'm guessing the 'H' doesn't stand for the normal 'honest' here, does it?  And I'm with you guys; sweet and strong voice and a cut brunette; dingdingding!  Still only gets a 7 rating from me; I'd like to give her an 8.5, but we haven't met yet.
 
I believe the "H" in that abbreviation stands for "humble".

I thought the "H" stood for "humble" in that acronym.  No matter.
We have a doppelganger for this singer in the UK - she is called Katie Melua and was born in Georgia (European country not US state) and moved to Northern Ireland.

Voice pitch, vocal style and even physical looks are all very similar.
 
The slight arpeggiated piano melody is a bit distracting to me. Maybe a more sparse arrangement with that element would help me like this more.

IMHO Sophie Zelmani can do no wrong, musically. As for her other stuff…no wrong there, either, IMHImagination. {#Drool}

Is it just me, or is the CD cover ever so subtly alluring and erotic? Something about it gets me just there {#Hearteyes}. Which I can also say about this song, which is just so sweet and poignant and affecting. 8 from the enamored Nottingham jury.

 
That's exactly why I don't like it. But don't let that bother you.

When it comes to the name Sophie, all I can think of is how David Carradine said, "Sophie" in Kill Bill.  {#Good-vibes}
 
What, the one that had her arms & legs lopped off - nice!

The album is a cavalcade of sleepiness . . .
I'm liking this. Sophie has such a voice.
Sounds great from an immediate listen.
