When Cissi, our super-talented songbird friend in Stockholm, gives you THAT look, be on your toes! Something amazing is about to happen. Like some new songs... More about Cissi below the photo!
Here's the commercial featuring Cissi singing "Silhouettes in Slow Motion," her popular 2016 song, that Volvo featured in its 2017 ads promoting some amazing features in their new car models in Sweden -and elsewhere. Obviously, promotion-wise, that was a real coup for Cissi. I mean it's VOLVO! At the time, 2017, the ad also gave me LOTS of good ideas for places to see and visit in and around Skåne while touring Sweden in a Volvo with the adorable and ever-curious EC. You regular readers will recall that because of some discouraging things that were going on early last year in Sweden -CRIME! CRIME CRIME!- and more importantly, because, suddenly, EC was no longer in the picture, I reluctantly canceled the one thing that I'd been looking forward to since late Summer of 2017: an amazing two-week trip to beautiful Stockholm and a driving tour of Sweden, bringing along my favorite person-in-the-whole-world, my favorite world-traveler, EC. I had wanted to give her a chance to fall in love with the Sweden that I love so very much, too. And nothing says Sweden like winter-time Sweden. In case you need a reminder about what led to that decision to cancel my trip, read this: https://hallandalebeachblog.blogspot.com/2018/01/bad-news-on-sweden-front-how-that-very.html
Am very eager to see her smiling face and hear her amazing voice in a few months back in beautiful Stockholm! And, of course, drive around in a Volvo with one of her songs playing in the background as we cruise around! Maybe even her song "Silhouettes in Slow Motion," which Volvo used in one of their TV ads in 2016, below.

Happy to say I'm STILL planning on starting my podcast/video series in 2019, so while visiting my Mom in Central #FL 4 🦃 holidays, when bored, I set up her back deck to practice interviews a bit. (A backup studio?)— HallandaleBeachBlog (@hbbtruth) December 3, 2018

Our super-talented singing pal, Cissi Nilsson, continued to keep it real -with style- while on vacation this summer in #Styrsö, on west coast of #Sweden. :-) I can't wait to see Cissi in-person in #STHLM in early 2019, to make up for my postponed trip to Sweden and Iceland this past January, which I was so looking forward to enjoying, and bringing along my favorite human being so that she could see why I LOVE those two places so very much.

Yes, and in a few months it'll likely be on a Top Ten #trending list in #Sweden 🇸🇪, but a cool one, not one of those silly ones that seem so inexplicable when you see them on a list and have to wonder. 🤔— HallandaleBeachBlog (@hbbtruth) June 15, 2018
