In Reino Nordin's long career, last year must be one of the most memorable ones. During 2017 his sound evolved from laid-back reggae beats to urban pop music, and Antaudun was released. The album's title song of the same name was one of the biggest hits of last year, and it earned Nordin his very first win in the Finnish Emma Awards. Other songs from the album, such as Kato mua silmiin, Momentumii, and Kosketa have taken over the playlists, and brought Nordin from small clubs to the biggest stages in Finland.
The reason for Reino Nordin's popularity can be found in the basic building blocks of any good pop music: catchy songs and touching renditions. Nordin's singing style is full of soul, and he is comfortable with both the empowering ballads and the tight beat that makes you want to hit the dance floor. When the hero of the urban Finnish soul music climbs on stage, the audience knows it is in the right place. The musical embrace of the artist is gentle, but solid. So join in, relax, and let go.
