– From now on, the language of the performance will be English, there will be no performances in Finnish. The decision will be final, Saukkonen comments.
– Robin said it pretty well himself. An international career has been his goal for a long time. You have to go for it to the fullest. Leaving Finnish-language production was not a difficult choice. We understand that at first it may seem shocking that they will no longer be heard, but now is the time for English and an international career, Saukkonen explained the decision.
The current manager is responsible
The collaboration between Robin and Saukkonen ended in 2020. His current manager Juha Ruusunen comments to Iltalehti that Robin ‘s Only Life is a single rapture. The song was released under the name Robin only to reach Finnish-speaking listeners.
The focus of Robin’s career remains on English-language songs and the pursuit of an international career.

Ruusunen confirms that Robin has performed his Finnish-language production in his Korona-era concerts in Finland.
– In Finland, it’s nice to do that too, when many people remember and know those songs. They do not need to be kept away or hidden.
According to Ruusunen, there will be no obstacle to the performance of Finnish-language songs in the future, even though in 2019 the policy was different.
– They are not comments from our current team. I think that at the beginning it was intended to make a clear distinction between English and Finnish music.
According to Ruusunen, Robin’s world conquest is going very well and faster than ever. New English-language songs and performances are coming out of Robin later this year.
