MTS’ Finnish Singer-Songwriter Tom Tikka Releases New EP “That’s What Winston Churchill Said”

MTS singer-songwriter from Finland has released a 6-song collection featuring 3 older songs and 3 newly written ones, including first single, �Jaded Mind.�

Helsinki, Finland, January 27, 2021 --(PR.com)-- In a year that saw much of the music industry in lockdown, Tom Tikka took advantage of the downtime by releasing no less than 2 EPs and a Christmas single as Tom Tikka & The Missing Hubcaps, in addition to 2 more singles with his pop duo, The Impersonators. One of those singles, �Rodeo� reached all the way to #1 on the international iTunes sales charts. Tikka also managed to rack up a combined 250K+ Spotify streams. Couple that with appearances on Fox TV, several film industry awards for his music videos, and endless critical praise, and one would agree that 2020 wasn�t all bad for the prolific singer-songwriter.

With 2021 in its early stages, Tom Tikka isn�t about to sit back on his laurels. On January 22nd, �That�s What Winston Churchill Said� will see the light of day. The 6-song collection features songs written over a span of years, including 3 older ones and 3 brand new compositions, including first single, Jaded Mind.�

Tikka explains, �This EP took shape between August and December last year and includes three old tunes and three brand new ones. I must say, I rather enjoy combining new material with the stuff I have in my drawer. This is a nice way to shorten my backlog, while still staying current. In addition, returning to old songs feels a bit like stepping into a time machine: you get to revisit the feeling or event that inspired you to write them in the first place. It�s actually great fun!�

The EP will be released on MTS Records.

About Tom Tikka: Carmen Gray, with member and songwriter, Tom Tikka, was signed to Sony/BMG in 2005 and during the next nine years, they went on to record three albums and one EP. The group�s entire catalog (including such radio hits as �Lost In My Mind Again�, �Gates Of Loneliness� & �Life Can Be Beautiful�) was penned by Tom Tikka & Lappe Holopainen. After Carmen Gray disbanded in 2013, Tikka formed his current group The Impersonators with poet Antti Autio. In 2017, The Impersonators signed with FBP Music Group, a German label based out of Frankfurt. Together with their producer Janne Saksa, The Impersonators have released tunes to rave reviews and a considerable amount of radio attention.

In 2020, Tikka began working with MTS Records and released a solo EP titled �Working Class Voodoo� under the name Tom Tikka And The Missing Hubcaps. On this self-produced venture, Tikka plays and sings everything himself. It featured the UK iTunes chart hit title single.
