Pakarinen, Hanna Lovers

2007, it is unbelievable which potential the finish rock scene offers! But unfortunately those great bands aren't officially released outside of Finland - only as imports. Here we go with another diamond: On the surface, Finland's entry for this year's Eurovision Song Contest, Hanna's "Leave Me Alone" is just as melodic and catchy as the best Eurovision pop should be. Underneath, it's a straight-ahead rock song complete with aggressive lyrics and a mean guitar solo. "I know it's not your typical Eurovision entry", says Hanna, who co-wrote the song's lyrics. "But the important thing is that I believe in it. After all, the Eurovision Song Contest is about the songs, not about the singers". But of course, the competition is about the singers, too. And one thing Hanna can certainly do is sing.
