Nina Persson's "Black Winged Bird" is lilting and soothing, romantic and bordering on melancholy. The relaxing flow of this song makes it inherently listenable as foreground or background music.

I particularly like the fact that the song relies on Nina's vocal talents and not on overdone electronica or instrumental overkill. The strings and other back-up instruments that complement Persson's voice are spot on.

While this song may not have the pop appeal or driving force it usually takes to gain major recognition, I've had this track on my iPod's playlist ever since it was made available at Amazon.com.

This song isn't what I'd cal mainstream country, folk, or even pop, but is an intruiging mixture of those genres. I don't really like country that well, but I LIKE this song.

Thanks for a nice track Nina and Amazon!5 stars!
