Situations and Circumstances by Plastic Island 2015

“Johanna Elina continues to cultivate her style.” – Helsingin Sanomat ★★★★
“ even more fearless and abstract than before” […]  “The background of Sulkunen lies in jazz, but in the music as it is now, you can hear it only as broad-mindedness and “experimental”. And in the outstanding expression in the voice, that plays along with a small group- keys, guitar and drums – that has played and produced in many layers. ” – Helsinging Sanomat 2016

“ It is an unusually peculiar and beautiful debut from the 29- year -old Johanna Elina. There is lyrical depth and evocative and elegantly varied musical expressions. It is feel-good music, feel-sad music and feel-absolutely-beautiful music throughout all the 10 well- rounded tracks.” – KultuNaut. DK ******

“Everything is close, playful, genre-mixing and sufficiently reckless, without letting the voice lose its grip...” – GAFFA.DK ****

“ Exciting new voice on the Danish jazz scene is bidding fall welcome with a confident and compassionate debut… 

… A welcome new acquaintance that goes against the institutional jazz diva affectations, and gives space for independent and original song writing.” –  Geiger. 

“It is music with depth, which insists on being listened to.”  Jazz Nytt, DK.
