Genre bending and award winning Finnish bluesrock band Micke Bjorklof & Blue Strip will release new studio album Colors Of Jealousy on Friday 16th June on Hokahey! Records. This is the follow up to the critically acclaimed album "Let The Fire Lead" Bjorklof released 2020 with his acoustic power trio Micke & Lefty feat.Chef. His band's incendiary live performances have been mesmerizing audiences all over Europe. Now, with Colors Of Jealousy they're poised to take the step to the next level. The edgy, self-produced roots music album was recorded at bands headquarters BoomRoom in Kauhava, Finland and mixed by Finnish sound engineer legend Kimmo Ahola. Boasting 11 original songs ranging from killer opening track "Highway Highway" classic blues rocker led by Billy Gibbonsinfluenced riffwith layered guitars and wailing Hammond organ to dramatic americana flavoured countryblues, resonator guitar driven title track "Colors Of Jealousy" with a bit of Ennio Morricone vibes. You get a good sense of the range the album covers from these first two singles released.
The band flirts with tradition but pushes genre boundaries with their song writing and special instrumentation to create a sound that's distinctly their own. "Good Times Somehow" persuasivelystraddles uptempo soul and deltablues mix with a touch of Rolling Stones groove. "Long ago" features Memphis soul backed up with Hammond organ and gospel feel by two female background singers. Bjorklof shows off his range with dark story of "Are You Real" and blues saturated "I Thought You Were Mine". Dynamic "It Takes Two" starts slow with a fieldholler theme backed up with snaredrum groove, turning slowly towards funky Nawlins rhythms and ending with a bursting guitar solo. Their eight album is sure to establish Micke Bjorklof & Blue Strip as potent force in roots music.
