Erja Lyytinen- " Waiting for the daylight"

Finland's most well known blues export returns with an album of contemporary blues. EL is among the ones who try to keep the old spirit but give it a bit of a more contemporary sound with some FM/pop overtones and lyrics that strays from the classic being down to long, style. Songs like "Bad seed". "Last girl"are closer to the rock generation while "You talk dirty' and. "Waiting for the daylight" are more in the classic blues vein.

Her voice adds another parameter keeping away from the classic soaked in whiskey and tobacco , crisp voice with abit of melody and smoothness that adds extra dimensions in her sensible blues. Overall an album enjoyable, contemporary and still blues.
