Jo Stance is a new project by upcoming Finnish vocalist Johanna Försti and drummer-producer Teppo "Teddy Rok" Mäkynen. With the release of the single "Hey Girl!" on Ricky-Tick Records in June, they set up great expectations for the upcoming full-length due out in the fall.

Johanna Försti is a charismatic singer, who has been a mainstay in the Finnish scene for some time already, making a strong impact with her rare brand of charisma and impeccable vocal skills. Now coming up is "Jo Stance", her first album proper. Jo Stance is a project co-produced, written, and conceived by Försti and Teppo "Teddy Rok" Mäkynen, the man behind Ricky-Tick's lauded The Stance Brothers pseudonym.

"Hey Girl!", the first Jo Stance release, introduces a sound that is instantly approachable, and at the same time deep and filled with innovation. The song's vintage mood is matched by first-rate songwriting and production by Försti and Mäkynen, who also play all the instruments on the track. The sessions for the Jo Stance project took place in 2009-10 at Mäkynen's home studio, and the immediacy of the recordings translates well on the compact, organic groove of the track.
