I'm afraid I don't understand the language, but the vibrato and/or lilt in the artist's voice reminds me of very early female jazz singers a bit (e.g. Billie Holiday and Josephine Baker) who were recorded on vinyl. I think it sounds very retro at any rate and I like it.Joku Iiris - Joensuu
I hadn't really sought out any new 'lo-fi music made by some rando with an acoustic guitar' since the days when I got into The Mountain Goats and the Riot Folk collective, so this kinda feels like going home. Love the lyrics

Because people think what comes out of America's (or UK's) arse don't stink? (Right or wrong.)I’ve always been curious what makes an American (or UK) song a hit in non English-first countries, does anyone here have ideas?
Most music playing on Danish radio is American or British or from outside Europe. Whatever is popular there will also be played here. I just checked a list of most played songs on a commercial channel, and only 12 out of 50 were in Danish. An additional 6 were in English by Danish artists.I’ve always been curious what makes an American (or UK) song a hit in non English-first countries, does anyone here have ideas?
Most of the English speaking European songs that are popular here seem to be pretty similar to American pop or rock, eg Scorpions, ABBA, A-Ha (Take on Me), obviously anything UK, could all pass as American. The occasional song like 99 Red Balloons or Du Hast is a bit unexpected but usually they’re magnetically catchyMost music playing on Danish radio is American or British or from outside Europe.

I'm more curious the other way around. When does a European song break through over there, and why is it only French songs that make the cut without being in English.
I spent over an hour surfing these songs including a recent live performance in N. Carolina. A couple of songs from Chicago music exchange are great.. Really enjoying this..
