Finnish broadcaster YLE have already revealed the 7 artists who will be competing in Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2023 – Finland’s Eurovision pre-selection which will take place on Saturday February 25th. The songs will be released one every day, for seven days, and today’s entry is KUUMAA – ‘Ylivoimainen’
We’ve been raving on here (and to) KUUMAA’s most recent single ‘Edelleen Sua’. And still taking up residency on Spotify Finland’s Top 50 right now is their single prior to that, ‘Tulipalo‘. For their UMK single, the KUUMAA trio have mercifully not strayed too far from the sound that’s made them such a domestic success. ‘Ylivoimainen’ gives us a retro-tinted gaze at precisely the kind of music that these guys enjoy making. And, for what it’s worth, that we’ve been enjoying listening to this past year.
