Product Description

March of 2005 marked the Canadian release of Eivors new self-titled album produced by Bill Bourne. Eivors intensity, her amazing stylistic range, and the beautifully warm embrace that is her native Faroese language, which is woven seamlessly throughout this sublime collaboration with Bill Bourne, highlight this soulful work. As well, the finely crafted and soulfully performed guitar tapestry, whispers, caresses and spirits the listener away on a meandering musical journey. Love, peace and spirit are Eivors favoured lyrical themes, which flow harmoniously with Bill Bournes gentle, steady presence. Eivor is alluring and sensual to behold, she delivers a transcendent musical experience and with the top shelf production and artistic work of Bill Bourne, this is a must have album that will live in your player and bring joy to your life.

Superb artist.......2005-06-11

The artist has a very great voice and the songs are (even if I understand nothing) pleasant to listen. The guitarist on the CD is also from a very high level.

1 remark: There's a man who's singing a little bit in song 7 and whole the song 12, and that's a pitty, as he's not so skillful as Eivor.

That's the reason why I rate it only 4 stars.

Stuypi from Belgium.

Faroese Blues and Bliss.......2003-09-29

I first heard Eivor Paldsottir performing at a recent tourism conference in Torshavn. She sang songs in both Faroese and English, ranging from traditional folk songs to modern country music. Eivor's powerfully smokey voice brought life to all the songs she sung. I was enchanted to hear more, so I bought her CD. I have enjoyed listening to it, and it has enchanted many of my coworkers as well. This is an album of Faroese and Danish folk songs performed with a jazz and blues influence. The mixture is beautiful- the minor keys and percussions of Faroese traditional music lend itself perfectly to jazz and blues. The first song on the album is my favorite, but I also enjoyed the haunting rendition of some traditional Faroese chain dance songs. Eivor blended in her own mystical jazz rendition of these songs against a backdrop of the original Faroese style: verses sung acapella by a group of chain dancers as they dance, the sound of their stamping feet providing a unique percussion. This fusion of modern jazz and Medieval chain dance music was exquisite. The Faroese people are splendid for combining the influences of their past to create something tastefully modern, whether it be fashion, music or architecture. This album shows how skilfully this can be done. Eivor and her band display a powerful love of their country's music, bought to life through their own jazz/blues medium. Eivor herself is a refreshing alternative to the materialistic image-driven teenage and twenty something artists you usually see. It is nice to see someone in this generation excel through her own sensually elegant approach. She reminds me of Norah Jones with her subtly passionate approach. I hope we hear more from Eivor aned her colleagues in the future.

Album Description

Beyond Bjork!

One of the brightest stars on the Faroese musical horizon, Eivør Pálsdóttir grew up in the village of Gøta. She began performing locally at an early age and made her first appearance on Faroese television when she was thirteen.

Eivør's trademarks are the intensity and honesty of her performances as well as the breadth of vocal styles - from resonant operatic to clean folk, from raw, open throat ethnic to husky jazz - that she skillfully uses in her sublimely personal musical expression. With her roots firmly planted in her native Faroese tradition, Eivør Pálsdóttir creates music that reaches out to enthrall listeners all over the world.

Eivør released her second album, Krákan, with her band Krákan, (Pétur Grétarsson drums, Birgir Bragason bass and Eðvarð Lárusson guitar).

The album, Krákan (The Crow), went gold in Iceland last year (selling over 5000 copies). It has also sold well in the Faroe Islands and is getting good reviews throughout Scandanavia. It is fast approaching the 10,000 unit mark.

Eivør Pálsdóttir was rewarded two Icelandic Music Awards 2003 for her album Krákan: "Singer of the Year" and "Artist/Performer of the Year".

The album was recorded in the Rainbow Studios in Norway by Jan Erik Kongshaug.

Beautifully nordic.......2005-09-24

I wasn't expecting much from this album, but I have to say that I like it more and more. This isn't going to blow your shoes off, but the voice performance is quite impressive, the arrangements are excellent (minimalistic but still present enough to make for a very enjoyable experience), and the album has a very consistant mood. I thought a lot about Loreena McKennitt while listening to this album, but this is more "modern". I wish I could understand the lyrics though :)
