Finnish-born, Berlin-based artist Ina Forsman presents her most personal and dynamic album to date: *After Dark Hour*. Recognised as one of the leading voices on the European roots scene, Ina has been thrilling audiences for over a decade with her explosive live performances and powerful, honey-sweet vocals. With this new release, she takes listeners on an emotional and groovy journey of rediscovery and resilience.
Recorded in Helsinki with a team of Finnish musicians and produced by Michael Bleu and Ina herself, *After Dark Hour* is deeply rooted in retro soul, funk, Motown-inspired grooves and R&B. “I knew even before the songs were written that I wanted Michael Bleu as the producer,” says Ina. “Michael had already produced half of my last album, and this time I wanted to create a complete work with him. We have very similar musical tastes, so the production was an intuitive process. I told him I wanted to make a groovy soul album with a retro sound, whose songs would work perfectly both on record and live on stage.”
