A pretty voice, much like a pretty face, can often sell you on the whole package.

She did it fronting Swedish act The Cardigans, and now under the solo alias A Camp, Nina Persson uses those exquisitely dewey vocals of hers to make just an OK album excellent.

Persson's debut solo album -- featuring mainly material co-written with her friend Niclas Frisk -- is full of sunny, fuzzy pop music that, while not too removed from what The Cardies do, more echoes the work of unheralded Dutch contemporaries Bettie Serveert.

But, again it's not the songs themselves that sell the record.

It's how Persson inhabits them, how she strolls through them, how she charges them with an alluring blend of unblinking innocence and elegant sensuality.

You won't fall in love with this album, but you will -- if you aren't already -- fall in love with her. (More on The Cardigans)
