Our Take

When the mysterious package containing HELSINKI POSTORGARDS A Finnish Songbook by Matti Salminenin British English arrived at our office, we were equal parts excited and confused. How could a Finnish songbook be in British English? But after pressing play, we were transported to a whimsical world of swirling melodies and lyrical tales.

Salminenin's deep, velvety voice cuts through the traditional Finnish folk arrangements like a hot knife through butter. With each track, he effortlessly commands attention and respect, effortlessly guiding the listener through tales of love, loss, and longing.

The instrumentation on this album is nothing short of brilliant. From the haunting woodwinds to the booming percussion, every note feels carefully chosen and expertly executed. The skill of the musicians is undeniable, and their chemistry with Salminenin is palpable.

While the lyrics may be lost on those who don't speak Finnish, the emotion behind each word is universal. It's clear that Salminenin pours his heart and soul into each performance, and it pays off in spades.

Overall, HELSINKI POSTORGARDS A Finnish Songbook is a captivating listen that transcends language barriers. Whether you're a fan of Finnish folk music or simply appreciate stunning vocal performances, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. Matti Salminenin British English may be a mouthful, but his music speaks volumes.
