Finland: Information about the UMK 2022 songs!

Right after the announcement about the participating artists in Finland‘s national final for Eurovision 2022, UMK, the finnish broadcaster YLE brought some information about the songs to light!

• Cyan Kicks – Hurricane

Cyan Kicks’ song overwhelms the listener irresistibly like a hurricane. The song has an immense drive, is interspersed with pop hooks and constitutes a truly massive production. Hurricane is the band’s best song to date. Amaranthes Elize Ryd participated in the songwriting, which gives the song elements that really stick.

• BESS – Ram pam pam

A dance bomb at the after ski party in the spring of 2022 and a potential streaming hit. A wonderfully relaxed song that puts you in a good mood. The song has several pop hooks where Bess’ raspy voice comes into its own. A song with impressions from Lady Gaga and Nylon Beat that fits perfectly into the UMK party spirit with its distorted bass and pop beat.

• The Rasmus – Jezebel

1980s rock trends float together with The Rasmus and Lauri Ylönens identifiable, modern sound.

• Younghearted – Sun numero

A dynamic song. A touching and personal ballad wich flows together with a story that you can identify with and a production that grows towards the end and is reminiscent of epic indie greats like M83.

• Olivera – Thank God I’m An Atheist

A ballad. Thank God I’m an Atheist is a beautiful and moving ballad that already captivates with its name and the first beats. Olivera’s expressive voice comes into its own, and the song, which is made up of small elements, lands in a very impressive whole. The song is very current and still sounds completely unique.

• Tommi Läntinen – Elämä kantaa mua

Finish rock tradition mixed with a Coldplay-like big, internationel pop rock sound. Läntinen’s charismatic and sensual voice, his life experience and the captivating chorus are interspersed in an uplifting pop rock song.

• Isaac Sene – Kuuma jäbä

A dance groovy song with 80’s influences. Sexy sound.
