"SONGS OF HOPE AND DESIRE" ALBUM REVIEWS + MUSIC MEDIA COMMENTS:

MOJO MAGAZINE LIVE REVIEW:
"Striking is Manna, looking like a cross between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Patti Smith. Blending PJ Harvey's stomp with CSS's dance moves is audacious, and it's clear she's ready to cross borders. Her extraordinary bassist Maria nailed a constant pulse that gripped the audience."

SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE:
Hottest Download 23.8: Manna! Dreamy doomy music from Algerian/Finnish newcomer.

MTV.UK:
Manna sits in that space between early 60s girl groups and New York new wave that’s kind of popular again. Not that we’re complaining. We’ll file it next to the new Raveonettes album.

BOYZ.CO.UK/RELEASE OF THE WEEK:
Manna, Born in Paris to a Finnish mother and an Algerian father, was never going to be anything other than fu**ing cool. Channelling Debbie Harry, she has it all: tambourine shakes; a who-gives-a-toss throwaway philosophy and a pop meets rock filth bag garage sound. ****

SIRENS OF SOUND AND IMAGE:
Truth Song sounds incredible! A gorgeous 90's vibe reminding of early Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Bat For Lashes and Siouxsie & the Banshees. One of the best songs I have heard this year. Manna's vocals are beautifully piercing yet at the same time soft, mystifying, haunting and addicting.

BANDSWEBLOGS.COM:
Manna reflects the classic star quality with her iconic “je ne sais quoi” – air of cool, an intriguing beauty and charisma that perfectly compliments the rough but sexy sound. With her cool edge and striking presence, she perfectly mixes the classic and the fresh, in both – her music and her look.

ROBOTPIGEON.COM:
"STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND LISTEN TO A BRILLIANT POP SINGLE.

By pop, we don't mean that 'Some Girls / Some Boys' by Manna is anything like The Saturdays or Tinchy Stryder, it's more like The Kills or Ladyhawke. Her single is a completely and utterly brilliant, life-affirming piece of amazingness. It's as rock and roll as it's pop. There are ten million different things going on between the beginning and the 3.39 close but most notable of all, a fan-bloody-tastic tune!

MUSICK.BLOGSPOT.COM:
We're big fans of all things Scandinavian. From Robyn to Lykke Li to Fever Ray to Wildbirds & Peacedrums. Well, add to that growing list another name- Manna!

HS: "Levyä voinee huoletta kutsua vuoden kotimaiseksi rockalbumiksi" * * * *
RUMBA: " Kuningatar on uudestisyntynyt" * * * *
SOUNDI: * * * *
NOISE.FI: "Kappaleen voima on kukistamaton!" * * * *
VERTIGO: "Levy on epäilemättä yksi vuoden parhaista kotimaisista"
LÄNSI-SUOMI: "Heti levyn avaavasta Truth Songista käy peli selväksi. Songs Of Hope And Desire on täynnä kasvavia rockbiisejä Velvet Undergroundin, Iggy Popin ja Patti Smithin hengessä."

   About Manna

Manna, a singer-songwriter born in Paris to a Finnish mother and an Algerian father, now based in Helsinki Finland, she has released her critically acclaimed album: Songs Of Hope And Desire. Mixing influences that pass decades, Manna effortlesly combines musical elements from punk rock to dreamy folk creating a unique sound. Her first singles: "Truth Song" and "Some Girls, Some Boys" helped garner great attention among the UK press and industry and she's already picked up by the likes of Mojo Magazine, The Sunday Times Culture, Q magazine, Record of The Day, MTV UK and Myspace editorial.

In Manna's own words: " I am not interested in creating anything except heartfelt music, it can be either beautiful or just plain aggressive - often both. I grew up listening as much folk, soul and blues music than I loved the early New York punk scene bands. Anyway, there should be no rules when it comes to making music, it's when you let go of them and follow your intuition that it starts getting interesting. Sound is god and I love music."

Levyn jo niin useaan otteeseen kuunnelleena voin helposti todeta sen olevan ylivoimaisesti paras levy, jonka olen tänä vuonna ostanut!
Täyden kympin levy, niin hienoa musiikkia.
KIITOS!
