Ina Forsman [2021] - All There Is [Self Released]

Ina Forsman is a new artist to me. She is from Helsinki, Finland but now lives in Berlin. One source (Discogs) states that she was a contestant in Finnish Idols in 2012 and another (Wiki) that she was in The Voice of Finland when she was 15 (around 2009). 

She debuted with a self-titled album in 2016 and followed it up in 2019 with "I've Been Meaning To Tell You". She also appears on two albums by Blues Caravan. Despite two full solo album releases, the latest single, "All There Is", is only her fourth single to date which was released today (23 Jul 2021). 

She performed with a blues band (Helge Tallqvist Band) - there's a concert of her performing in 2015 here, and also performed with Blues Caravan.

Her voice is full and 'honey-burnt', don't be fooled by the long slow-burning intro, as her voice builds an builds as the song progresses.

On the strength of her vocals on this single, I think it's time to check out her back catalogue. One of the singles is a cover of Aretha's "Chain Of Fools" in collaboration with Tasha Taylor and Layla Zoe in 2016, another two artists I've not previously come across!
