The Sound of Finnish Soul

“The Sound of Finnish Soul” shines a light on the smooth grooves, funky rhythms, and laid-back vocals that define soul music through a Finnish lens. This playlist blends classic influences and modern flair, pulling from decades of Finnish artists who’ve brought soul, funk, and R&B to the Nordic scene. Tracks like Sami Saari’s “Ainutkertainen” and Maarit’s breezy “Jäätelökesä” sit comfortably next to Tuomo’s jazz-tinged contributions and the retro-styled warmth of Bobby Oroza and Nicole Willis.

Featuring a mix of Finnish-language cuts and English-language gems, the selection moves through mellow ballads, upbeat horn-driven jams, and disco-touched grooves. From the vintage vibe of Eero Raittinen to the stylish collaborations of Punomo and Jimi Tenor, the playlist keeps the mood soulful without pushing too hard. Whether it’s the hazy neo-soul of Emma Salokoski or the modern funk of Eternal Erection, this collection creates a smooth-flowing soundtrack for easy listening with a unique Finnish twist.
