Jani Matti Juhani will release a trilogy of singles in April, continuing his exploration of Finnish-language schlager and revisiting musical memories from the past. The trilogy also launches a new Iskelmää series, serving as a spiritual continuation of his Elvistä suomeksi album trilogy (2019–2025).
The second single, “Auta yö tää kestämään,” is out now. It is a Finnish version of “Help Me Make It Through the Night” by Kris Kristofferson, with Finnish lyrics by Aappo Ilmari Piippo. The song is performed as a duet with musician, writer and drag-artist Henrika de Kermadec. The recording also features Ville Valilla (bass), Ville Lehtovaara (drums), and Tuomas Räisänen (guitar).
