Indecision by Franka Oroza, Cold Diamond & Mink

The musical Oroza bloodline just seems to keep pumping soul music from Finland for the world to hear. Now it's time for Franka to step to the stage and she comes out from the gate swinging with a sublime beat ballad "Indecision". Backed by the faithful Timmion Records house band Cold Diamond & Mink, Franka's folk jazzy vocal stylings seep into fertile ground.

Building from the intro drum roll to the rootsy organ-led groove Franka jumps on the beat with a Joni Mitchell twist and it's immediately apparent that we're in for a treat. The vocal glides effortlessly between firm and delicate tones, perfectly underlining the lyrical content. Franka takes her time in setting the scene, holding a veil before the fact that we're actually listening to a love song.

If all you're looking for is good songwriting with a soulful backbeat, with Franka Oroza you'll get a unique voice to boot. This is another sure shot for all fans of independent downtempo soul from the Timmion stable.

Franka Oroza is a Helsinki-based singer-songwriter whose music is a vibrant fusion of global influences.

Raised in a household steeped in South American rhythms, she draws from a wide range of folk, jazz, neosoul, and electronic influences. Voices from Brazilian legends like Caetano Veloso through Joni Mitchell to neo soul artists like Lauryn Hill can be heard in Franka's musical approach.
