Average customer review:Product Description
Filled with an emotional intensity (and complexity) that s both raw and moving, Tina Dico s sensitive voice sounds more
vibrant than ever on her latest release, as she delivers her introspective songs with shimmering power and grace. Music
has always been a very big and mysterious part of my life, she explains. It s definitely my way to feel alive. It s fair to say
that I found my calling. And with her own label, multi-platinum status in her native country, a Danish Music Award, and
international success with Zero 7, it s hard to disagree. Count to Ten is proof that the unusual path Tina s life has travelled
isn t something she takes for granted. The graceful tenor of Tina s voice perfectly showcases her contemplative lyrics,
giving Count to Ten its distinctly honest sound and unforgettably true spirit.

Review
Single On the Run as a Hot Download saying "The Danish singer featured by Zero 7, delivers moving midtempo rock on On the Run." --People Magazine
Review
Tina Dico's single, Sacre Coeur has been featured in E Weekly's Choice Cuts section. The single, in which "the London-based Danish beauty muses about Paris streets at sunset" is cut from Tina's new album Count to Ten, released in full on April 8th. --Entertainment Weekly
Review
Shes like an updated Tracy Chapman with her no-nonsense delivery, deft acoustic picking and songs of yearning. --LA Times
Customer Reviews
Good Stuff
Liked her in Zero 7, liked her better in her first solo outing, but this latest set is excellent. She cuts the power loose on a few of the tracks, 1 or 2 of which actually flirt with the edges of true folk territory. Most have this soul baring girl unplugged vibe that really resonates, and I'm a guy...I mean a regular guy. Good Stuff Here...
breathtaking...
Saw Tina perform in Chicago this May on the recommendation of a friend... was incredibly impressed.. she is an eloquent songwriter and a wonderful performer. This CD is a staple in our home- if you have an opportunity to see her, I can't recommend it highly enough... she is as lovely as her music. In choosing my favorite of her CDs, I am torn between this and "In the Red." Both are incredible- beautiful and insightful... take a listen and I bet you'll be hooked.
Strong Songwriting!
The new album from Danish singer Tina Dico, must be her strongest - so far. Extremely well produced and filled with strong personal songs. Musically I find her in the same league as Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow; without quite having the vocal strength of McLachlan or the knack of writing hits like Crow - at least not yet - In fact I would not be surprised if one or two of the songs on this great collection actually made it to the charts.
Some of the songs have an immediate catchiness about them; such as "On the Run", "My Business" and perhaps , "You Know Better" - which after a quite first verse turns into a great power-pop ballad.
Overall it feels like a very personal album with fine lyrics dealing with existential questions about finding oneself. Some songs won't have the immediate appeal of the before mentioned; but the moving and keytrack "Sacre Coeur", the fine ballad "Open Wide", the half-acoustic "Night Cab" and not least the bluesy and soulful "Cruel to the Sensitive Kind" are likely grow on you. Somehow "Cruel to the Sensitive Kind" reminds me of Sheryl Crow's "I Believe"
There are really no weak tracks here - apart from the un-necessary hidden track.
All in all an impressive effort from Tina Dico.
