TV-seerne og et UMK-panel afgør vinderen af UMK 2022
Et ekspertpanel med Tapio Hakanen, musikchef på YleX, har udvalgt de 7 finalister ud fra 312 bud. Vinderen findes i en kombineret afstemning med TV-seerne (75%) og et internationalt UMK-panel (25%).
BESS – Ram pam pam
“I want to put on the world’s best show at the UMK”
Cyan Kicks – Hurricane
– We aren’t afraid to combine different elements to make our own, distinctive sound. One song might be completely electronic, while another will be seriously heavy, but, at the end of the day, it always sounds like Cyan Kicks
The Rasmus – Jezebel
– Jezebel was a biblical troublemaker, who did things her own way and really shook things up. We wanted to introduce her to the modern-day world. The song is also a bit tongue-in-cheek, which is pretty unusual for The Rasmus
Younghearted – Sun numero
– The song really shows the direction Younghearted is heading. Before, we had a more acoustic, smaller sound. Now, we’re going big right out of the gate
Olivera – Thank God I’m an atheist
– Nobody knows what happens after we die. What if all the world’s biggest religions are actually right and life never ends? I can’t think of anything that causes more anxiety than the idea of eternal life
Tommi Läntinen – “Elämä kantaa mua”
– Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and make that leap, simply having faith that it will all work out. In many cases it does, when you just let go of the past and surrender to the future,
Isaac Sene – “Kuuma jäbä”
– You might blush a bit listening to this song, but we don’t want to just shock people for the sake of shocking
