Ever since her 2023 album ‘Tell Me The Story Again‘, we at Mesmerized have been keeping a close eye (and ear) on the work of Finnish singer/songwriter Jenny Räisänen. Currently based in Limerick, Ireland, Jenny brings forth a unique sonic vision that is hard to categorise. I think that’s a big reason we find her music so fascinating.
‘In A Vacuum’ is the artist’s brand new offering, and once again the listener is greeted with an inventive, dynamic, and breathtaking composition. Perhaps best described as a dark, cinematic, indie-pop song, ‘In A Vacuum’ is a haunting, almost meditative experience.
The eerie keyboard work, performed by Jenny, sets an entrancing tone, allowing the tune to seep into your soul. Finally, Räisänen’s vocal performance is utterly extraordinary. Floating between strength and vulnerability, it’s intense and deeply immersive.
Describing feelings of isolation and difference, Jenny believes that ‘In A Vacuum’ represents the deepest layer of her music. It’s hard to argue. It’s a truly moving piece of music. We simply can’t wait for the release of her forthcoming album, a record that promises more cinematic indie-pop goodness!
