Biography
Nordic vocalist Johanna Kuvaja presents her new single 'Wanna Make Love To You', a sexy and versatile offering - much like a modern "Je t’aime”. Her third single and it’s music video has caused a lot of media buzz in her home country, Finland. The music video was premiered by the biggest news media in Finland and it’s called “the most erotic musicvideo” in the history of Finnish music.
Johanna’s praised as new Mariah Carey.
Written by Kuvaja, the single was recorded, mixed, produced and mastered by award winning London-based producer Sefi Carmel, known for his mixes for icons such as David Bowie, Phil Collins, Bruno Mars, Michael Buble, Massive Attack and Birdy. Kuvaja handled the vocal arrangements and also co-produced.
"I composed this song when I was dreaming about experiencing a deep spiritual connection with someone. I realized that I had only had sex with men, not made love," says Kuvaja.
“Billions of people have had sex. I don’t know how many have actually made love? Making love is an art, created by two people with deep feelings for one another. It's a giving behavior with commitment and care."
Johanna Kuvaja debuted her 'Shower' single in August 2019, which saw her dubbed as Finland's Sabrina and also drew comparisons to Katy Perry and Kylie Minogue. This was followed by 'Back For Good', with reviews recalling Christina Aguilera and Madonna, and then 'Shower (Janne Hyöty Remix)', created by multi-platinum awarded producer Janne Hyöty, whose songwriting accounts for over 40 No.1 releases (including on 'ARASHI 5X20', the world's best selling album of 2019).
Finland's largest periodical 'Ilta-Sanomat' declared 'Shower' and its respective music video among the biggest topics in Finland’s entertainment world in 2019. The single, which has been played on radio in over 40 different countries, also reached the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s official Viral 50 Finland chart, not to mention charting for 15 weeks straight after its release.
