about

An album of organic pop music with jazz spices. The album deals with the perception of one's own place in this time, in different roles – as a person, as a woman, as part of society and a larger continuum. The name "Helposti palavaa" refers, on the one hand, to the blink-of-an brevity of life and, on the other hand, to reflections on one's own limits; To what extent should you stretch your limits and how do you live your own life with a bright flame without burning out?
