Following the grand reveal of the seven acts competing in Finland’s Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2022, it’s time to hear their songs one at a time. First out the gates are Cyan Kicks. They’ve released their entry “Hurricane”.
The song is written and composed by band members Niila Perkkiö and Susanna Alexandra, as well as Susanna Saarinen and Amaranthe vocalist Elize Ryd. Music producers Chris Walla and Zakk Cervini have also been involved in creating the final product.

One song might be completely electronic, while another will be seriously heavy, but, at the end of the day, it always sounds like Cyan Kicks.”
Cyan Kicks are an alternative rock group comprised of members Susanna Alexandra, Niila Perkkiö, Leevi Erkkilä and Pietari Reijonen. They formed in 2016 and have since released two studio albums, accumulating over 10 million streams.
