She is currently working on her second solo album and has released four singles from the album.
Below are a few reviews about music (more on Reviews page).
“She moulds the songs in ways where you feel like you’re almost involved in its construction. It is light as a feather, yet feels heavier than a sword. It is true that the pen is mightier in this case, for feelings like this only come from the heart.”

"As the album was playing, continually rising in gravity and tone, I was wondering how on earth you go about finalising an epic, such as this. Well… there you have it, Jenny Räisänen comes out with the title track and blows all of my expectations out of the water. The song sums up the album; it’s bold, brave, human and full of endless emotion. ‘Tell Me The Story Again’ is unforgettable."
