Robin Packalen, one of Finland’s most popular pop artists, is releasing an EP today that revives the biggest hits from the early stages of his career in new, modern versions.

The 2.0 EP, released today, is a tribute to Robin Packalen’s phenomenal career. The five-track collection presents the artist’s biggest hits in a completely new setting, where the original energy meets today’s top production. The project features some of the top names in the Finnish music scene: VIIVI, Tupe. and Senya.

“I never thought I’d re-record songs I’d already done, but here we are. It was a wonderful, nostalgic journey for me personally, as these songs hold a lot of memories, and I have literally grown up with them. I have often heard suggestions about making new versions, but for a long time, I thought it was impossible. When I finally started to hear in my head what they would sound like in 2026, I had to make it happen. It was also great to have guest stars from this decade bring new energy to the songs!”, Packalen comments.

When it comes to partners, EP relies on both proven chemistry and fresh energy. Packalen and VIIVI’s previous collaboration, Ihana kipu, was one of the biggest hits of 2022, rising to the top of both Spotify and radio charts. Häät pidelly, released with Tupe, also went five times platinum and rose to number one on the Finnish radio charts. Rising star Senya brings new energy to the project, and Robin Packalen has been following her upward trajectory with admiration for years.

Throughout his 14-year career, 27-year-old Robin Packalen has been one of Finland’s most successful artists. His music has been streamed over 560 million times, and five of his seven albums have debuted at number one on Finland’s official album chart.
