Anna Abreu – Räjäytä Mun Mieli

“It just falls into that giant valley of ‘meh’”

Tim: BLOW MY MIND, says Anna in Finnish, and it’s…interesting.

Tim: You see there are bits in there I like, and other bits that I’m really not. That distorted accordion-ish instrumental second half of the chorus in particular really doesn’t do it for me; on the other hand the first half before it is exactly what I want to hear, and the verses are very serviceable, as far as standard pop verses go in this line of music.

Tom: Blimey, Tim, that’s a hell of a run-on sentence there.

Tim: It is, now I read it back. Sorry about that.

Tom: Yes, the accordion thing is disappointing — and sadly, so is the rest of the chorus for me. There’s nothing specifically wrong with it, it just falls into that giant valley of “meh” that alas contains far too much pop music.

Tim: Maybe, though I think it’s just that at the moment I don’t really know what to think – if it was in English I’d probably make up my mind by judging the lyrics; as it is, we don’t even have a video to judge narrative structure and the like. For the time being, then, I’m going to have to stand firmly on the fence, until we receive MORE.
