Hitz from Finland vol. 2

[credoimprobus]

The theme for this week's edition: girls rocking out w/ added costume capers!

Irina: Kymmenen kirosanaa

Phax phile: one of Finland's most popular female artists, sold platinum several times, innumerable hits, etc. Partially owes a debt for her breakthrough to super-popular group Apulanta's frontman Toni Wirtanen, who co-wrote much of her debut album. (Am uncertain as to his involvement in later albums, as have rather failed at the keeping up.)

This one is from 2006, title translates to "ten cursewords"; it's pretty much about loving someone even though they drive you totally up the wall. A sentiment I can get behind! It also has one of the most awesome middle eights EVER.


TikTak: Sankaritar

Phax phile: have been around since '99 and long been one of our premiere girl groups. A couple of albums back they started taking a somewhat rockier bent, and by the last one (which turned out the actual last one, since they broke up late last year) they'd pretty much gone all out in that direction. The above is the lead single off said last album, from 2005; title translates to "heroine" (SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE).

Yup, the same ones. :D Friends was their debut album -- or the English version thereof, anyway, for which they used the and-including version of their name. I guess they were trying (with poor success, I wager) to hit abroad?

(I'm glad they're being enjoyed! :))
