Message from Eivør

Posted on March 14, 2012 by heidur

It is a cloudy and rainy day here in the Faroe islands. I am in the recording studio with a norwegian band called Vamp. They have chosen to record their upcoming record here on the islands and yesterday they recorded my old song “Elisabet og Elinborg” and I feel very proud to share my song with them. I am also preparing my first little tour in Russia and I am excited to play some concerts there. I am not very good at writing you letters like this one but sometimes I pull myself together and write you a note. I have just finished my new album and I will release it in the late summer I will tell you more about it later when the rain has stopped Thank you for your kindness and for listening to my music.

Love Eivør

Eivør will be a part of a concert series with Jón Ólavs that is taking part in Iceland. Her concert is tomorrow night, and it is sold out.

The concert series has been going on since september, where Jón brought on guest singers for each concert. The setting is comfortable and a light mood, where the audience gets in tough with musicians like never before.

Eivor & Ginman – Reviews

Posted on February 19, 2012 by heidur

Eivør just finished her tour around Denmark with Ginman, and they got great reviews! To read a review from Politiken click here.
This is what Berlingskes had to say:

“..Efter pausen stod Lennart Ginman for en solobas-version af ‘My heart belongs to daddy’, og den lagde bare den helt perfekte, mørke bund, som gav seancen en stil og en stemning, og som efterfølgende blev konsolideret via Eivør Pálsdóttirs flotte sang ‘All blue’, hvor sangerinden også…..fik vist sin mildt sagt imponerende stemmepragt!
Ja, ikke blot imponerende. Her var jo en bevægelig og udtrykfuld røst, som bare gav ordene mening og dybde. Dertil bød instrumentalisterne på et originalt flow, som var fyldt med fine nuancer, og som også var den rette luft under vingerne til Eivør Palsdottirs klokkeklare fuglefløjt i det høje register. Den kunstneriske kulmination indfandt sig i den på en gang funky og luftig version af James Bond-klassikeren ‘We have all the time in the world’, men stærkt stod også den dystre, selvmordsrelaterede sang ‘Gloomy sunday’ samt den smukke og filosofiske udgave af ‘Nature Boy’, som med Eivørs stemme og Bo Randes trompetspil afrundede den mørke aften på rette og magisk vis”.
