Search - Erja Lyytinen :: Stolen Hearts

Seven albums into her career ?Stolen Hearts? reveals a new facet of Lyytinen?s artistic persona. In the past she has integrated elements of both hard rock and pop into her music. This time out, encouraged by her producer, Erja now flings the doors wide open to express what she describes as: ?heartbreak, frustration, disappointment, fear of loss and yet, at the same time, the deepest love.? The chances are that you if you?re aware of Erja Lyytinen, you consider her a blues artist in the most familiar sense. It?s a perfectly excusable assumption. The petite bottleneck guitarist has spent 15 years involved in a gradual but steady ascent of the ladder of the European blues market, her most recent studio record, 2014?s ?The Sky Is Crying? being an homage to a childhood hero, the late Elmore James. Since then the lady that the Blues magazine refers to as ?the Finnish slide goddess? has given birth to twins, undergone changes in her personal and professional lives nd emerged with a fresh, re-energised attitude.
