Jaakko Eino Kalevi Shares Video for New Song “This World”

Oct 10, 2018 By Christopher Roberts Jaakko Eino Kalevi

Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jaakko Eino Kalevi is releasing a new album, Out of Touch, this Friday (October 12) via Domino imprint Weird World. Now he has shared another song from the album, “This World.” It was shared via a video for the song that mainly features a close-up of Kalevi as he sings the song while the lyrics flash on the screen. Blank Blank directed the clip, which you can watch below.

Kalevi had this to say about the video in a press release: “We were at my friend’s studio and playing around with his new camera. This video footage was just a test but in the end it turned out to be the best take of all. I’m a big fan of karaoke and now with this video my fans can sing along.”

Previously Kalevi shared a video for its first single, “Emotions in Motion” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Then he shared a video for another new song from the album, “People in the Centre of the City” (which was our #2 Song of the Week).

Out of Touch is Kalevi’s fifth solo album and the follow-up to 2015’s self-titled album. Kalevi wrote and produced the album, which was recorded in studios in Helsinki and Berlin, where he currently lives. He plays every instrument on the album, including the saxophone. A previous press release said the album draws inspiration from some time Kalevi spent in Athens and “broadens his horizons while focusing on his inner self.”

Kalevi had this to say about the album in the previous press release: “Everyone knows the meaning of out of touch and it usually has negative connotations, such as lacking the latest information. But to be out of touch can be the most ideal state.”
