Elin Ruth Sigvardsson checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@elinruth) on Thursday (October 7), apologizing for having to cancel three shows this week due to illness. The Swedish singer songwriter tells readers:

I’m so sorry to inform you that the 3 shows in Denmark (today+Friday+Saturday) is canceled due to illness. I thought I would make it, but I have now totally lost my voice, as a result of a protracted cold & vocal cord problems. I really hope to come to Copenhagen, Odense and Århus at a later time, and I’m sorry about any inconvenience & disappointment this may have caused. Much love. e

Elin Ruth Sigvardsson updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@elinruth) on Saturday (August 22), discussing her fourth album. The Swedish singer songwriter tells readers:

I’ve just finished my new album, ‘Cookatoo Friends’! It will be out on October 7. You can pre-order an exclusive, limited edition of it here already. =) It includes an EP with acoustic versions of some of my older songs, in a deluxe pink packaging. First come, first served!

It’s been a trip recording this album. I’ve worked closely together with Rolf Klinth, but I have produced & played most of it myself. I’ve also started my own record label, Divers Avenue. These ingredients makes this album extra special & close to my heart. It really feels like my own project, in rain or sunshine…=)
