Award winning artist Stinako returns with her new album Visions of Future – releasing via Soliti on the 30th October 2026.
The announcement arrives with the album’s title track as a first taste of what’s to come. “Visions of Future” embellishes Stina Koistinen’s heartfelt vocal with Njet Njet 9’s delicate horn section and Sibelius High School’s Girl Choir’s powerful backing. Key collaborators on the album, Koistinen’s composition revels in new surroundings.
Listen to “Visions of Future”
Stina Koistinen explains; “”Visions of Future” explores the theme of the upcoming album of the same name from a personal perspective. Facing the uncertainties of life and the experience of adversity is a grueling task if one tries to cope alone. At some point, I realized I couldn’t manage the burden on my own and sought help — and that is what the song is about. The burden remains, but it is lighter to carry. This song is forward-looking — a utopian believer in a better life and a better world—resounding with sincere hope, accompanied by horns and a choir.”

Sibelius High School Girl Choir
Stinako’s forthcoming album Visions Of Future is an ambitious collaborative project featuring the powerful horn section of the mini big band Njet Njet 9 alongside the delicate yet potent sound of the Sibelius High School girls’ choir. The work is built upon songs composed and written by Stina Koistinen, arranged into a diverse and gritty musical tapestry in collaboration with Ville Kyttälä, the founder of Njet Njet 9. The album reaches toward the future — not as a dystopian warning (okay, maybe a bit), but as a hopeful vision. Visions Of Future paints a picture of a world where people choose kindness and respect: for the planet, for other species, and for one another. It is a musical statement and an invitation to imagine what might be possible if empathy and responsibility guided our choices
