    • What the press say:

      ...a very beautiful and energetic cover of the classic "Walking on the Moon" by Police. Dare I say that this version is better than the original? YES, I DARE! A great discovery, this bewildering singer, and these excellent musicians. (Claudy Jallet for Jazzmania (BE)

      ***Album of the Week*** / With her fourth album, Finnish singer and composer Elena Mîndru is breaking new ground. The focus of the colorful and atmospheric titles is the voice of the native Romanian, who gives musical expression to her hope for a positive future in a free dialogue with violin, piano, drums, and bass.<<…>> Conclusion: a mature concept album. - Georg von Wassmuth, SWR2 (Germany)
       

      Elena Mîndru writes imaginative, individualistic, elegant songs that bridge the worlds of art-rock, jazz, and Finnish folk music. She sings [...] with an understated power from the lows to the highs, has a socially aware worldview, and one inspired versatile band. - Lucid Culture, New York (US)

       

      "Hope" is an album primarily for fans of Scandinavian jazz, a combination of modern vocal jazz with ambitious pop and a fascinating admixture of ethnic elements. Offers melodic, skilfully played, and well-arranged compositions. We are dealing with an artist aware of the strengths of her voice. - Rafał Zbrzeski for Jazz Forum and Radio Krakow (PL)

       

      Strong expressive voice, catchy compositions, great instrumentalists. - Krzysztof Komorek, Donos kulturalny (PL)
