If Chisu's soar-away success reads like a movie script, it's fitting that cinema played an opening role. In 2008 her Bond-style first single “Mun Koti Ei Oo Täällä” featured in Finnish rom-com Sooloilua—now this pop songwriter/producer is one of the best-selling artists in Finland, ever. Her studio albums of elegant chart ballads—including modish updates of the '60s Gallic pop of Françoise Hardy, decorated with ethereal electronics and symphonic strings and given her own pop noir twist—have all scaled the Finnish top five, and this franchise looks set to run and run.
