I've been fishing quite a bit in the Nordic music scene lately, and this time I haven't come back empty-handed. Finnish alt-pop artist Ronya, regarded as one of the leading female voices in her native country, has released "Work Harder" through Cocoa Music.
From Outpost Media:
"With infectious 80s pop elements aplenty, ‘Work Harder’ is a throwback to the classic female-fronted pop song, with pulsing basslines and hypnotic synths playing a major part in telling the story. While twanging guitars and shimmering drums call to mind the likes of Robyn and HAIM, the stripped-back nature of the track allows Ronya’s powerful vocals to soar throughout, providing the perfect platform for her to convey its poignant meaning."
With a full length album due to be released in early 2015, let's hope for an outstanding year for the Finn.
