Finland | Faija - "Tobleronea"

BRAND NEW

Faija is the stage name of Aaron Martikainen, a Finnish singer from Helsinki. Meet him with his very entertaining "Tobleronea". It's a song which offers that unique mix of pop, electronic and schlager that only Finland seems to know how to offer to perfection.

About the song, Faija says: "'Tobleronea' tells the story of a traditional Finnish business trip, in which the meeting itself and the core of the trip remain secondary when the bottle of liquor opens. When it is finally time to return home, a bad conscience presses the traveler out of his sip, and to compensate for this, the traveler brings goodies in return. Do what you do, but don't forget the gifts".

It's about how you're preparing for an upcoming date, but you're just standing in the shower, thinking about all the things you have to do but you never get to it...".
