Review by Jeff Marmins

Sydän Liikkuu is the latest album from Finnish musician Reijo Karvonen and his band, Ikaros. The album, which translates to "Heart Moves" in English, features a collection of soulful tracks that showcase Karvonen's musical prowess and the band's tight-knit sound.

The opening track, "Tähtien alla," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its sweeping orchestration and Karvonen's emotive vocals. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through a range of moods and styles, from the upbeat rock of "Rakkaus on kuin viini" to the melancholic balladry of "Kun kohtasin sinut."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sydän Liikkuu," the title track, which features a driving beat and infectious chorus that is sure to get stuck in listeners' heads. Another highlight is "Kunnes löydän sinut," a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Karvonen's ability to convey deep emotion through his singing.
