Maini Sorri's CD packshot might not look too appealing but pop in the CD and Sorris inner beauty shines through, because this Scandinavian singer-songwriter with a Finnish background (but resides in Sweden) sure delivers sophisticated pop.
Nobody can question her finely honed songcraft, the result of studying music and realizing a Bachelor of Arts degree. That kind of kudos doesnt guarantee success, and for British tastes, at least, she may be way off the mark with the lead-off single Someday from this 5 track EP.
No doubt some muso-minded playlist compilers will pick up on this delightful piano-based ditty, that builds up to a hefty crescendo, fully deserves a big audience.
Elsewhere, the remaining songs have real depth and are equally playable for radio, particularly Lahden Yksin.
Verdict Dont judge a CD by its cover.
