Venna, Aino

Marlene

Here is a mature artist at work that has found unaffected by current trends and fashions, their own style and voice. The Finn called EDITH PIAF and MARLENE DIETRICH as their full size counterparts, where it proves its reference to the album title and the opening song ,Waltz To Paris", also are Russian poets such as TOLSTOY or DOSTOEVSKY and melodramatic black and white fi lms as inspiration. Ten poignant beautiful, mostly melancholy songs in the tension between chanson, Finnish folklore and the bluesy wail of a NINA SIMONE or BILLIE HOLIDAY, which are the dark voice and gentle accompaniment with bass, guitars, strings and horns wonderful to see. Strong album, which landed the 2012 summer hit with the single ,Suzette" on Radio Helsinki!
