Huonosti puetut lapset – Mikset voisi minua
Anniversary celebration continues with more songs that I love. The actual birthday post ended with Hattara, so I’m sure Jake Nyman would be proud if I post something from an EP called Kaikki on hattaraa. It’s the debut release from Huonosti puetut lapset and I love it to bits. Magical stuff with mostly piano and a beautiful voice. Here’s the last song Mikset voisi minua.
Leija Lautamaja – Ylpeästi sun
This album has been one of my biggest favorites all year long. Leija Lautamaja might be better known from trad circles, but this popular music adventure Sydän tuli piilosta is nothing short of amazing. Full of beautiful playing, great songwriting and gorgeous lyrics that sometimes make you smile and other times move you into tears. I love almost all of the songs, but let’s go with Ylpeästi Sun on this little blog post. A song for mother that is so real and true. Quietly mesmerizing. I love it as much as you can love a song.
Toinen Maisema – Usvaa
Wrapping this quickly with a couple of singles. First the past and future of Finnish rock. Only a little bit joking. I saw Toinen Maisema live late this summer and absolutely loved everything about the concert. If I had a label I would sign them in a heartbeat and force them to make a full length album as soon as possible. There’s two great singles available right now. The latest is called Usvaa.
Nikita Titov – Kirkas tähtiyö
This last one is called Kirkas tähtiyö and it’s filed under the very best songs of 2024. What a beautiful dreamy monster from Nikita Titov. I can’t wait to hear more. Whenever there’s an album, it’s going to cause a havoc in my heart.
