Stolen Hearts was mixed on the very same EMI console Kimsey had often used with the Stones. Says Erja, "Chris said it was like meeting an old girlfriend after many years. He sat in front of the desk and his magic started to happen."
Mastering was completed at Air Studios (part of the world-famous Air Studios started by Beatles producer George Martin) by Ray Staff, whose credits include iconic rock albums including David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes.
She describes the process of making her newest album "purifying" – the product of difficult times of "heartbreak, frustration, disappointment, fear of loss and yet, at the same time, the deepest love." As an artist, Erja has always been open to change, and with Stolen Hearts, she wants to offer her audience something totally new. "I had the feeling that I had the ingredients in my hands to make something truly extraordinary and different."
"Erja’s interpretation of the blues takes the genre to another level that I have never experienced before," says Kimsey.
Stolen Hearts sees Erja spreading her wings into different musical genres whilst retaining her blues roots. Influences of country, Americana, funk, folk, prog, R&B, jazz and rock, are intertwined with Erja’s trademark slide guitar blues stamp, which makes Stolen Hearts her most stylistically accomplished and sonically adventurous release to date.
"Working with Erja was a revelation," says Kimsey. "She has the ability to perform and write so many different kinds of songs, and her vocals and lyrics are powerful and they connect with listeners."

Continues Erja, "Working at State of the Ark with Chris was amazing because we mixed the album and recorded my vocals on the same desk the Rolling Stones used at Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, where they recorded all their classic albums. The desk is analogue, and the microphones were vintage, enabling us to capture an authentic and fuller sound. I’m really pleased with the results, and I hope my fans will be, too. Production-wise, Stolen Hearts is the best sounding album of my career."
