DVDfever.co.uk – Maini Sorri: Someday (EP) reviewElly Roberts reviews
Maini Sorri isnt exactly an oil painting, confirmed by the CD packshot.
Pop in the CD and Sorris inner beauty shines through, because this Scandinavian singer-songwriter with a Finnish background (but resides in Sweden) sure delivers sophisticated pop.
Nobody can question her finely honed songcraft, the result of studying music and realizing a Bachelor of Arts degree. That kind of kudos doesnt guarantee success, and for British tastes, at least, she may be way off the mark with the lead-off single Someday from this 5 track EP.
No doubt some muso-minded playlist compilers will pick up on this delightful piano-based ditty, that builds up to a hefty crescendo, fully deserves a big audience.
Elsewhere, the remaining songs have real depth and are equally playable for radio, particularly Lahden Yksin.
Verdict Dont judge a CD by its cover.
Tracks:
- 1. Someday
- 2. I Am Leaving
- 3. I Shouldnt Have Trusted You
- 4. Like An Angel
- 5. Lahden Yksin

Elly Roberts passed away in 2011, but he was a man who was so passionate about all types of music and loved meeting his musical heroes, such as Mick Hucknall at a book signing at the Trafford Centre, Manchester in 2007.
A former teacher and also a music journalist, DJ and radio presenter on local community station Calon FM, plus appearances on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio 2, Elly started doing reviews for DVDfever.co.uk in 2004 and he did the majority of the CD and concerts reviews on the website.
I know also that he loved getting away for the summer to Spain and I hope that wherever he is now he is enjoying the hot sunshine and, as one of his friends has said on his Facebook page, that he is interviewing his musical heroes.
