On this review I will be reviewing the debut international album by Saara Aalto which was released on the 27th April 2018. It's the major label international debut studio album by 'Saara Aalto' called "Wild Wild Wonderland".
Saara Aalto is a singer from Finland who is also a song writer and a voice actress. She participated in singing competitions such as The Voice in Finland where she finished second in the first series back in 2012. She participated in The X Factor UK back in 2016. Saara has also taken part in musicals she was also the voice of Princess Anna in the Finnish version of Disney's animated movie 'Frozen'. She has also dueted with 'Adam Lambert'. Aalto grew up in a musical family and recieved piano lessons from pianist 'Olga Maslak' who is Ukrainian. After several of times being able to participate Finland she finally represented Finland this year in the Eurovision Song Contest. I first discovered Saara back in 2016 where she participated in The X Factor UK. I was mind blown by her performance cover of Sia "Chandelier" which earned her 3 yeses from the judges. During the X Factor she was my favourite to win from day 1. I was mind blown where she did the Bjork cover of "It's Oh So Quiet" which I really enjoyed. Discussing more about her discography she has previously released albums which some of them are Finish. She was signed to Warner Music to release an international debut album. "Wild Wild Wonderland". After hearing this album what did I think of it? I was very disappointed it's this kind of pop electronic album of annoying EDM sounds. She is capable of making good music instead of being a pop mainstream artist. She has a really beautiful talented voice. It's a shame I did not like this album that much. I would say her other albums that are in Finnish are much better.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Dance!!!" this track is decent her vocals are decent on this track. The production is not that bad "Dance Like Nobody's Watching" which I think is her best track on the album with beautiful piano sounds. Her vocals are fantastic on this track. This is the kind of music she should be making more not this boring cheap dull pop diva mainstream. "Sirens" Another great track which I thought this is more of the kind of songs she should be releasing. She has a beautiful voice she is talented but it's a shame that she wants to step in into the pop mainstream world. My least favourite track is "My Touch" I thought this track was awful it's not produced well her vocals are decent but production caused the problem for this track.
Overall I am very disappointed with this album. Saara should be doing so much better. I would not listen to this album again. I am giving this album a 3/10.
