”Her jazzy artpop is chiseled to perfection. Poignant melodies, epicity and excruciating sweetness are the cardinal points to which she refers to move in an interesting and never repetitive sonic landscape.” – Rumore Magazine (IT)

”Dreamlike melodies that seems destined for the soundtrack of one of those fashionable Nordic Noir-series with blood on the snow.” – Nueva Revolución (ES)

”A cathartic album that moves between visceral beats, emotive ballads and dark electro-synth. Mesmerising, heartbreaking, challenging and soul wrenchingly beautiful. Sad Secret Songs is undoubtedly her finest work to date. The type of album you need to – and want to – listen to from beginning to end.” – Women in Pop Magazine (AUS)

”Anna Arco is a new generation whose music depends solely on the aesthetic criteria of the artist herself. On stage, Anna Arco opens an outlet for emotions, as a kind of continuation of her soul, which has passed through all possible stages of suffering and pain.” – BTv Novinite (BG)

”The level of creativity she possesses is something out of the ordinary. It is beautiful, vulnerable and extremely moving. The artist, songwriter and producer has an ability to put together her qualities and create something complete. She creates something that lacks nothing.” – Tinsel Music Magazine (SWE)

”You cannot fail to be amazed by so much grace and sincerity which tickles the ear with sweet musical influences. This sound must be listened to.” – IGGY Magazine (FR)

”Powerful, beautiful, partly melancholic with lyrics that hits your heart … Anna Arco performs personal lyrics in a self-cast form with contours of dark pop, jazz and electronica.” – Uppsalatidningen (SWE)

”The dark and dramatic pop of Sad Secret Songs is elegant, suffused and never too oppressive. Like a sad Lykke Li, Anna Arco unleashed all her skills in one record, very intriguing.” – Suffer Magazine (IT)

”An album that goes beyond genres and that honestly is over several lines. A record for those who have a passion for crystalline singing, dreamy and absolute virtuousity.” – Giorne Metal (IT)

”With the ”difficult second album” she has created a well produced album where every track is a potential favorite. A really good production can sometimes take away the closeness that the songs want to convey, but here it is a perfect harmony. In her new musical suit Anna practically throws away the box that so many fight to think outside.” On the list of Best Swedish Album of 2021 – HYMN – (SWE)

”Her most recent music has that solitary air about it – her gorgeous vocals standing tall on minimal layers of instrumentation. Her folky vocals, almost Bhangra-like in style, are always the focus of your attention.” – Drunken Werewolf (GB)

”Each song is a brilliant attempt to get out of the darkness of absence to form new presences in the form of music.” – Rock Hard Italy (IT)

”Anna Arco lets her thoughts flow without limits and rules. Sad Secret Songs returns with the processing of pain, the story of a human experience as collective as it is intimate, and Berglund’s voice expertly guides us on an emotional journey under the banner of rediscovered serenity.” – Off Topic Magazine (IT)

”Eight deep, reflective songs, crossed by a dark vein. The sound is refined and blends perfectly with the voice. Anna Arco may be an anarchist in terms of respecting herself as an artist but not in regards to taking care of the ”product”.” – Ver Sacrum (IT)

”Solo debutant in full control. Genuine and expressive with Annas alternately smooth and cracked voice in the center.” – UNT (SWE)

”Anna Arco proofs once again that Swedes just seem to have the groove in their blood.” – Berlin Session (GER)

”Hypnotic, poetic and dramatic!” – Global Story Telling (IT)

”And that’s the hook for me – but it’s not just the words – it’s Anna’s vocal delivery that drives it home – the lyric ”Dagger to the” is sharp and quick, it’s like the melody is mirroring the movement of the knife and once you have that imagery in your head it’s never getting out.” – Music To

”The secret songs of the Swedish multi-instrumentalist and producer are striking for their ability to relax and convey a sense of underlying poetry, despite the atmosphere being dark and melancholy as in the tradition of Nordic pop.” – Suffisso Core (IT)

”Anna Arco has left me speechless. Her voice is fantastic.” – MIML (Carribbean)

”With a beautiful vocal, along with lyrics that sound sincere and true.” – Roadie Music (BRA)

”Arco has crafted … a remarkable collection of heartfelt, genre-warping pop, reflecting both the light and the darkness of her experiences. Music for deep immersion that is worth being savoured. Pop may be the music of Arco’s heart, but Songs Within the Spectrum is shot through with musical elements spanning electro, jazz, stadium pop, dramatic ballads and dreamy orchestral textures.” – Women in Pop (AUS)
