MINNA ORA

About

Metal meets indie in Minna Ora’s second solo single. Living in Pertteli, in Southern Finland, Minna Ora is celebrating 35 years as an artist in 2020. Her music career also includes gigs on the national level with bandmates of her own, as well as with Remu Aaltonen and Veeti Kallio, among other well-established names in the Finnish music scene. “My solo album is shaped by spirituality, challenging life experiences, and the powerful beauty of nature, along with influences from Kate Bush, Evanescence, and Within Temptation,” Minna says. Taken from the upcoming debut solo album, the second single, “Sea,” and its Finnish counterpart, “Meri,” has a mystifyingly beautiful sound as indie, metal, and ambient. The connection with Mother Nature through music is especially valuable during this time when people around the world have been confined inside concrete buildings. With her impassioned singing voice and the touching imagery in the lyrics, the skillful singer-songwriter Minna Ora has created an empowering experience for the listener.
