ERJA LYYTINEN’s new studio album ‘Smell The Roses’ (released this week), which features melody-rich blues tunes with rocky textures, is exemplary and receives a five-star rating from us.
The Finnish musician and singer-songwriter has just released “Abyss,” the album’s third single.
“I wanted to express that feeling of being alone in the dark…” says the accomplished slide-guitar adventuress.
“There’s no way out. You’ve been left to carry all the burden by yourself. That’s a heavy feeling, and you can really feel that on the song. This will be a heavy and loud track to perform on stage!”
With its intensely dark, textured spine, ‘Abyss’ presents a darkly glowering and ominous first impression. Despite its experimental nature, this music is undeniably true blues. This song’s expansive, shimmering images are breathtaking. Otherdimensional!
Erja Lyytinen’s five star album Smell the Roses was released March 28th, 2025, via Tuohi Records.
