Somebody Outside is the first studio album from Swedish singer-songwriter Anna Ternheim. An excellent debut, with her distinctive voice, slight but charming accent, great songs, and judicious choice of instrumentation, from piano dominated ballads to rock. It's a pity that the album, while highly praised and successful in Sweden, did not make any impression internationally. I'm glad I came across it many years ago. My CD comes with a great bonus CD, containing unplugged versions of most of the songs. Special attention for Better BeI'll Follow You TonightA Voice To Calm You DownSomebody Outside, My Secret. and Shoreline.
