“He’s from Finland, and he’s funky - that’s a joint right there! Re-released by Big Crown, who care enough to give you the very best”

- Huey Morgan BBC 6 Music

Finnish crooner Bobby Oroza releases his debut album ‘This Love’on Brooklyn’s Big Crown Records (NYC label home to Lee Fields & The Expressions, The Shacks, El Michels Affair). Bobby pushes the borders of soul and rock balladry and creates a sound that's distinctly his own. Watch the video for the artist's sweet soul ballad ‘This Love’ below, which has a moody and intimate aesthetic.

Since the track's original release ‘This Love’ has already became somewhat of an

underground hit. The tune was sampled on Earl Sweatshirt’s song ‘Hat Trick’ and has become wildly popular in lowrider soul circles, moving over 3,000 copies of the 7” and counting. With its tough drums, maverick guitar work, in the cut bass, and Bobby’s calm yet pleading monotone vocals, ‘This Love’ is a must for soul collectors.

Second single ‘Your Love Is Too Cold’is a stomper that blends the groovy soul

drumming of early Motown records with guitar work that could have been lifted from a James Bond score getting heavy spins across the globe at soul parties. Bobbytakes care of the dancers with a few up numbers, ranging from the northern soul nods on ‘Lonely Girl’ and ‘Falling in Love’ to the 70s jazz funk found on ‘Keep On Believing.’ However, the ballad lovers with the uncontrollable urge to two-step late into the night will be the real winners with ‘This Love.’ Bobby thrives on the bed of dark and intimate sensuality found on tracks like ‘Alone Again,’ ‘Down On My Knees,’ and ‘Déjà Vu’. The world is about bear witness to this strange and unique shade of soul born in Finland but made for the whole world to enjoy. Bobby will tour Europe with veteran soul singer Lee Fields & The Expressions this spring ahead of the album release.
