Sólo Paraíso (subtitled The Summer Songs EP) is the debut extended play by Swedish singer-songwriter Molly Nilsson, released on 28 July 2014.
Production For the production of Sólo Paraíso, Nilsson "took a step out of her comfort zone recording-wise", as it was written and recorded during a two-month stay in Buenos Aires in the summer of 2014. Nilsson explained: "I have a real following there and somehow, I managed to land a two-month residency, which was ideal. I needed to work somewhere that was totally unlike Berlin."
As of 2023, Sólo Paraíso remains Nilsson's only release that was not recorded in her home studio in Berlin.
Release The extended play was exclusively released on vinyl on 28 July 2014. Unlike Nilsson's other releases, it is not available as a digital download or on streaming platforms, as of 2023.
Critical reception
Loud and Quiet writer Joe Goggins referred to Sólo Paraíso as a "faultless EP" in his review of Nilsson's later Zenith. The staff reviewer writing for Norman Records "[h]eartily recommended" the release, while praising Nilsson's "impressively earthy, deep vocal delivery" and songwriting.
