He reveals:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I wanted this song to have a modern punch to it, combined with a vintage sound performed by real musicians to deliver the ultimate groove. I even got a violinists Olivia and Milena to lend me their talent. Vocals I wanted to keep very raw and left them without edits!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, coming up with the lyrics was almost like a therapy session for me, with Alexandra and Jesse interviewing me about what I miss about the place that I come from. And I gotta say, they totally caught the right vibe! I am so so so glad to have such talented friends around me. At the end of the day it is a simple pop song, but I hope we manage to take you to a place (or space) and time when everything used to be good, and bring this back to the present, wherever you decide to play this song!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can hear it below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Home\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1f7wKoNempolTt1FFTXH5E?si=2Btc_HvbS5GpTb7mW_lY0g&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The awesome producer Perttu has just released a glorious slice of retro pop with new single &#8216;Home&#8217;.
