Jenny Räisänen’s The Sun Between The Shadows is an indie-pop fever-dream drenched in haunting melodies, cinematic soundscapes, and gut-punch lyrics. If you like music that makes you feel something deep in your bones, this album is for you. Jenny, an absolute powerhouse of a singer-songwriter-producer, pulls us into a world where darkness meets hope, and every track is a journey in itself.
From the get-go, “Underneath” drops us into an apocalyptic soundscape, where Jenny’s rich, commanding vocals cut through eerie synths and pulsating beats. It grips you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The chilling refrain—”Screams, screams from underneath”—lingers like an echo in an abandoned city.
Then comes “I Don’t Have A Clue,” and suddenly, we’re running full speed into indie-rock territory. Gritty guitars, pounding drums, and Jenny’s impassioned delivery create a heart-racing anthem for anyone who’s ever been lost in longing. The frustration in her voice is tangible, and when she belts out, “I hate that I don’t have a clue,” it’s impossible not to feel it in your soul.
And just when you think you’re catching your breath, “Breathe” pulls you into its soft yet agonizing embrace. A minimalistic arrangement of whimsical piano and aching strings lays the foundation for Jenny’s hushed, melancholic vocals. The song builds like an exhale after holding your breath for too long, a reminder that sometimes, the only thing you can do is just… breathe.
This album is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. Listen to Jenny Räisänen’s The Sun Between The Shadows on Spotify.
