Review by Joseph Pinto

Serkkupoika Sinä Minä Taivas Kuu Ja Tähdet: A Finnish Pop Gem from 1995 That Deserves Your Ears Alright, let’s dive into this slice of Finnish pop history. Serkkupoika Sinä Minä Taivas Kuu Ja Tähdet by Eija Kantola is one of those albums that sneaks up on you like a friendly cat in the night—quietly charming, slightly quirky, and impossible to ignore once it’s caught your attention. Released in 1995 under the AXR label, this album feels like a time capsule from an era when pop music still had room for personality instead of just formulaic bangers (not that we don’t love those too). Now, I’m not gonna lie—the title track, “Sinä Minä Taivas Kuu Ja Tähdet,” hits different. It’s got this dreamy, almost ethereal vibe that makes you want to stare out a rainy window while sipping coffee. The melody floats around like clouds at sunset, soft but full of color. You can tell Eija put her heart into it; there’s no way someone writes lyrics about skies, moons, and stars without meaning every word. It sticks with you because it feels personal, like she’s letting you peek into her diary. Or maybe her daydreams. Either way, it’s catchy enough to hum along to after just one listen. Then there’s “Serkkupoika.” Oh man, this one slaps—in a very mid-’90s kind of way. If the title track is all moody introspection, “Serkkupoika” is its fun-loving cousin who shows up uninvited to family gatherings but somehow steals the show. The beat has this infectious bounce to it, and the chorus lodges itself in your brain like an earworm you actually want to keep around. I mean, what even IS a serkkupoika? Is it some kind of cosmic mailman? A distant relative with mysterious powers? Who cares! The song doesn’t need answers—it just needs you to dance awkwardly in your kitchen. What really sets this album apart is how unapologetically Finnish it feels. There’s none of that trying-too-hard-to-be-global nonsense here. Instead, Eija leans into her roots, crafting songs that feel as cozy as a sauna session or as refreshing as jumping into a frozen lake. Sure, the production might sound a little dated now, but honestly? That’s part of its charm. Like finding an old mixtape in your attic, it reminds you of simpler times before streaming algorithms ruled our lives. So yeah, if you’re looking for something offbeat yet totally endearing, give Serkkupoika Sinä Minä Taivas Kuu Ja Tähdet a spin. Just don’t blame me if you start wondering whether serkkupoikas are real—or if they’re secretly running the universe behind the scenes.
