Denmark | Eivør feat. Ásgeir - "Only love"

BRAND NEW

Two Scandinavian talents got together for a haunting new single. We are talking about "Only love", by Faroe Islands' Eivør and Iceland's Ásgeir. It's a deep and highly involving track, which makes you totally lose track of time!

"Sometimes we have to lose love first to find it and when we find it we are afraid of losing it. I believe that everyone we ever loved will always be a part of us somehow deep within. Even when the love didn't last. I find much beauty in that", Eivør says about the track. Ásgeir adds: "I got to know Eivør when I sang with her on her Christmas shows in Reykjavík in 2018 and we got along really well and I enjoyed working with her and her band. Later on Eivør sent me the track 'Only love' and I was honoured that she asked me to sing with her on this song".

Denmark | Eivør - "Sleep on it"

BRAND NEW

Eivør Pálsdóttir is one of the most prominent names from the Faroese music scene. Born in Syðrugøta in 1983, she took her folk-inspired electronic sounds all around the world: she has won awards in Iceland, had her debut album being critically praised in the United Kingdom, and had songs appear in the soundtracks of several videogames and series (including "God of war" and "Game of thrones", among others). This year, she is releasing her second studio album, "Segl", and we can already hear one single from it. "Sleep on it" is a haunting electronic ballad that talks about making choices.

About the track, Eivør says that she "wrote this song during a very late night. I remember twisting and turning in bed but not being able to sleep. I had gotten my head into a frenzy, so I got out of bed, made a cup of tea, lit a candle and I started writing this poem. It was like a flow of thought, a conversation with myself".
