Uneton, the latest album from Finnish singer-songwriter Bess, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that showcase her unique voice and songwriting ability. The album is a departure from her previous work, with a more stripped-down sound that allows her vocals to take center stage.
From the opening track "Kuin uni", Bess sets the tone for the album with her delicate vocals and sparse instrumentation. The songs on Uneton are introspective and personal, with Bess exploring themes of love, loss, and longing.
One standout track is "Kävelen", a slow-burning ballad that builds to a powerful crescendo. Bess's vocals soar over the sparse piano and guitar, creating a sense of emotional intensity that is palpable.
Another standout track is "Kevät", a dreamy, atmospheric song that showcases Bess's ability to create a sense of space and atmosphere with her music. The song is both ethereal and grounded, with Bess's vocals floating over the gentle guitar and percussion.
