About Kingdom Come
This song is a twin sister to Crown. It has taken many shapes and forms until it finally settled. It’s been a long opus of many many verses just as Crown. A whole story, maybe I will release it as a novel one day. It has a twisted biblical, christmasy ring in a very alternative universe. Mixed by Nille Perned. In addition to Sofias vocals, guitar and trumpet she’s brought with her musicians like Bebe Risenfors (Tom Waits, Elvis Costelloetc) Viktor Brobacke (Club Killers etc), and Sara Edin and Daniel Druiz (from Canada)
