Swedish indie-artist singer/songwriter, Hello Saferide is Annika Norlin, born in Östersund, Sweden, now living in Stockholm.
With a warm voice and beautiful melodies she made a slight breakthrough 2005, beginning with the single
My Best Friend. Her actual dream was to become an author, but after playing a couple of her songs at a friends’ house it didn’t take long until she was signed and you could hear her songs all the time on the radio. Such a success story!
Her songs are very text based, with beautiful rhymes and quick parts of speedy and clever word complexes.
Annika has said that she at times has hidden meanings in her songs. She doesn’t want to change the world and make peace, but she smiles and says that in the songMy Best Friend. is actually about her wanting to say that it is okay to fall in love with anyone no matter the sex.
She says herself that she is not much of a stage person but that she does her best. She was on tour in Sweden during 2006, with the last stop being the Emmaboda festival.
In the beginning of 2007 she released an album with lyrics in Swedish, this time under the name Säkert!. The music differs a bit from the music of Hello Saferide.

25 Days is just an amazingly poetic and still such an acurate impression about the female mind! Gotta love the new album.
