Lauri Järvilehto’s ‘Whippoorwill’
Lauri Järvilehto’s ‘Whippoorwill’ is an evocative and intimate track that blends personal elements with a rich, atmospheric sound. The riff, originally played on acoustic guitar by his younger brother Paavo, adds a heartfelt and gentle touch to the composition, infusing the music with extra depth. The song’s calming yet emotionally empowering vibe is further complemented by the album cover, designed by Paavo and inspired by a photograph from Heidi Strengell, creating a seamless connection between the music and its visual narrative. Together, they make “Whippoorwill” a beautifully reflective piece.
Fitasha ‘FAMOUS’
Fitasha’s third record, RUSH, is a kaleidoscope of sound and emotion, proving once again that defining her is futile. ‘FAMOUS’ kicks off the LP with a fiery punch, Fitasha’s powerhouse vocals riding on rhythmic waves of jazz-infused hip-hop. From English to Spanish, her lyricism is a journey through self-love, growth, and empowerment. The record thrives on contrasts, seamlessly merging neo-soul warmth with drum-and-bass urgency.

The vocal lead brims with character, weaving compelling storytelling through verses that are as dynamic and intriguing as the musicianship guiding them. Anchored by a smooth, unforgettable hook, the track strikes a perfect balance between freshness and memorability, delivering a powerful opening statement for the album.
Jean-Loup Pinson ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’
Jean-Loup Pinson’s ‘Tell All The Truth/Surrender’, from his genre-defying EP A Moment of Deathlessness, is a daring exploration of timeless themes through a distinctly modern lens. Pinson fuses the ethereal harmonies of The Carice Singers with the visceral punch of London hip-hop poets Armanious and Tanaka Fuego, crafting a sonic tapestry that feels both hauntingly classical and fiercely contemporary. The piece channels Emily Dickinson’s enigmatic poetry into a 10-minute journey of contrasts—grace and grit, reflection and rebellion—all underpinned by a forward-thinking production style that pulses with urban energy. It’s a track that challenges, mesmerizes, and lingers long after the music fades.
