This emotional song “Bend And Break,” from Finladian singer and songwriter Sätilä is one of his best songs to date! He has one of the most brilliant voices we have ever heard! His voice is charmingly pure on the top of original and touching lyrics. The atmosphere of this record is very unique and the production work is polished. We have enjoyed listening to this song until the last second, many times and without getting bored at all. Sätilä’s vocals are very emotional and honest and the melodies are so catchy. The piano in this song is adding the most perfect touch we could ever ask for. This record was definitely a wonderful experience for our team and we are very excited to see where Sätilä’s career will go within the next few months.
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“It talks about the difficulty of making a decision even if you had the drive to move forward in your life. It has a nostalgic and melancholic feeling to it that I just love”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Finnish artist Sätilä, aka Teemu Sätilä, reveals a brand new song ‘Bend and Break’, and at the same time announces the forthcoming release of his debut EP ‘on the verge of something’, to be released on September 18.
Sätilä combines a fresh fusion of infectious alternative/indie music with rich pop soundscapes. Having started writing songs at the age of seven after learning the piano, Sätilä later moved to Sydney, Australia, where he studied songwriting and. However, he soon realised his ambition to create something that was entirely his own, eventually heading back to Europe to pursue his own sound. He has received attention from the likes of YleX (Finnish equivalent of BBC Radio 1), as well as being playlisted on official Spotify playlists in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Canada.
His new EP ‘on the verge of something’ is a collection of six tracks which showcases the breadth and depth of his music. Consisting of three brand new, unheard tracks, and three previously released songs, the EP is the perfect introduction to the rising alternative pop artist. Musically the EP moves from indie to left-leaning pop to electronic music drawing inspiration from contemporaries such as Tame Impala, MGMT, Foster the People, Lykke Li, Maggie Rogers, Bon Iver and James Blake, among others.
“For 2019, my goal was to make an album” says Sätilä, “I was intrigued by the challenge of making a full body of work so I dropped out of university (London’s Goldsmiths) and started working on the album instead”
Sätilä finished his album a year ago, but circumstances have led him to feel that now is the right time for an EP, rather than a full album: “The changes in releasing music made me change the plan to putting the music out in two EPs. Turns out, it works better this way musically. ‘On the verge of something’ is more electronic and synth-driven and has coherent lyrical themes of uncertainty, future and loss even though the EP finishes with a hopeful message of self love in ‘Like You Do’. The EP title describes its overall feeling of being in a state of anticipation just about to tip over to the future.”
