Strong statement
"Like moths to a flame, music lovers have flocked towards the work of Helsinki-based songwriter Manna ever since the mid-Noughties. Four releases down the road and the woman born in 1977 to a Finnish-Algerian family as Mariam Jäntti has yet to make two albums that are alike."

Like moths to a flame, music lovers have flocked towards the work of Helsinki-based songwriter Manna ever since the mid-Noughties. Four releases down the road and the woman born in 1977 to a Finnish-Algerian family as Mariam Jäntti has yet to make two albums that are alike.
For touching tunes, both poetic and powerful, look no further than the exquisite Blackbird, which kicks off a cappella, climaxes with the raunchy “Your Brittle Bones Are Meant to Shake” and goes out with the quirky blues of “Reform”.
