Utu

Interpreter: Värttinä
Label: Rockadillo Records
Location: Finland

The new album kicks off in fine style with the uptempo 'Dark Girl', and the remainder of Värttinä 12th album doesn't disappoint. Doubtless re-energised after finishing 11th in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest - two members participated under another name - Utu deploy their hallmark arrangements and harmonies with full inventiveness.
