Directed by Mick Droguett.................................................... ...................Sara creates emotional electronic music: dramatic, cool pop with depth, all wrapped around a captivating voice. From the Sweden-only release of her debut album "Say Hello To The Naked Lady" (2004), Berg has been focussing on the development of her label Gaymonkey Records, which has grown to produce artists such as the critically acclaimed Ebb and internationally renowned Melnyk. Alongside working on her new material, Berg has let her Midas touch to others. She wrote "Fabulous" for Melnyk's debut "Silence" - which caused a commotion in clubs on both sides of the Atlantic – and toured with him across Sweden and the UK. She also directed videos for both Melnyk and Ebb – including the stunning animated "I'm All Made of Music"- voted one of the top Swedish videos of 2006.But in her native country it is “When I Was A Young Child ...” that has catapulted her to the top of the hot list, with critics suggesting she is the missing link between The Knife and Sally Shapiro. "Soon no-one will be able to avoid Sweden's new electro fascination,” gushed Groove Magazine, whilst the broadsheet Helsingborgs Dagblad, enthused: “One of the most promising artists in Swedish electronica.” Battling its way into the Swedish download chart, the album went on to outsell the likes of Robyn and The Knife, while Sara has found her unique style in demand across the fashion press.Berg describes the new collection as a concept album, which evolved over the past few years as she explored the paths of success and failure. Notions of dignity and integrity – how far one is willing to go to achieve their goals and what price they are prepared to pay – are evident throughout each track's poetic lyrics. "This is an album about dignity,” Sara says. “Having, losing, and struggling to regain dignity. It's harder than you might expect to live as you please.”.................................................. .....................Sara's debut album "Say Hello To The Naked Lady" - previously unavailable outside Sweden - is also now for sale in the Gaymonkey Shop (with FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE) ... or get it at Amazon by clicking the image above....................................................... .................LIVE IN SCANDINAVIA?

Sounds Like: "Amazing Swedish popstrel"
Popjustice"Warm, string laden, tricky beats all laced by Sara's incredibly powerful voice" TOP SEVEN ALBUMS OF THE WEEK
One Week To Live"A collection of atmospheric electro on the verge of breaking into pop ballads, but practicing the kind of restraint only a martyr could muster."
Gay Times"Energetic, semi-noir electropop of the finest calibre"
Bent"With her second album, Sara Berg has established herself as one of the most promising artists in Swedish electronica." Helsingborgs Dagblad"Soon no-one will be able to avoid Sweden's new electro fascination."
Groove Magazine"The excellent 'This Can't Be Desire' sounds like it could have been released by Eurythmics in 1982." 4/6
Svenska Dagbladet"Imagine The Knife but with a straighter, more basic sound. Sara's voice is pure magic – 'Not Alone' is worth listening to over and over again." 4/5
Solo”Out of all the recently surfaced women producing electoronic music, Sara Berg is the brightest shining star with her upcoming album with the mile-long title - lush, fresh sound featuring her cool voice over songs that are deliciously produced”
GT”Sara makes accessible but still edgy electronic pop music well worthy to discover.”
Göteborgs-posten”Don’t miss the Fascinating link between the Knife and Sally Shapiro.”
