"Nice is the second record of Micael Ricar. Micheal is taking the listener with his sound into a journey through the French south coast and the Cote d’Azur. Therefore, Nice does adapt the charm and flair of the French coast in a lovely but always strongly independent style. The extraordinary mix of the French Chansons with electronic vintage beats and sounds, combined with some jazz elements, characterizes this concept album. Due the fact that Zofka is very confident in each of those musical jargons, the result is a incredible high level soundmix.
In that constellation, the success was not missing. The first single release of the album Nice, it was “Tu ne I’aimes pas”, got a high reputation in Europe and lots of regular airplays in Switzerland and Germany. Despite the CD-Album and Single, a Vinyl-Single was produced as well. No one less than the Swiss star producer “Minus 8” did remix “L’automobile” which was released in May `02. As a sign that Zofka is highly to recommend, lots of other Labels used different songs for their Compilations."

"This limited double CD contains everything that can be described as typical for the project “Zofka”. Each of the two CD’s has its own character. While CD one is the well know13 track album called “Nice”, CD two is an additional with remixes from each original piece. Different artist like “Minus 8”, “Eric Fischer & Karl Möstl” (Walkner.Möstl) or “Remady & Player” (Sweet & Sexy) did produce their own interpretation of songs like “L’automobile” or “Tu ne l’aimes pas”."

"This group is wildly underrated, the tracks on this are well produced, and very enjoyable. There is hints of 20s retro and some tracks have a nice cinematic feel about them. These albums are hidden treasures if you are into retro lounge."

"Zofka was born in Prague but it's in Switzerland that this highly skilled electronic artist emerged. He seems to be influenced by some old French movies (with Jean-Paul Belmondo), as L'automobile.mp3 will testify. Please buy Zofka's music if you like it!"


"There is no music that fits so perfectly to your summer feeling like the music of Zofka! The sound of their songs is new and fresh, futuristic and retro at the same time, a wonderful melange of Downbeat Chanson, Electropop, NuJazz and Chill Out some sort of NuChanson. Zofkas remarkable art is to make electronic music sound warm, expressive and full of emotions. The music of Zofka reminds you of a charming trip to the south coast of France, the Côte DAzur. This is Zofka: An elegant and unique melange of french chanson and musette, electronic beats and pop-elements married with the remarkable and sublime soul-voice of the vocalist Myriam Russo combined to form a rare and exquisite musical delight. Get charmed!
