She is really amazing

Eivor is top notch! She - Eivør Pálsdóttir - known by the mononym, Eivør, is the 'act', not the band, and she collaborates with a number of different musicians. As her music suggests, she has worked on soundtracks, most recently and notably the Viking drama, The Last Kingdom.

When Eivor sings miracles happens. Her voice is beyond beautiful: strong, soft, calling to or for you. Saludos ✌️

aw, I love love love that you checked out Eivor, she is one of my all time favourite musicians. There's plenty of other great tunes out there where she flexes her vocal muscles. I think one of the most impressive ones is the theme tune of the TV show The Last Kingdom (amazing show as well btw, if you're into history or just great drama). She has some mind boggling throat singing/beat boxing techniques.

So your Nordic journey continues with a very rare Färöese singer. Her vocal ability you have seen now, and her range is kind of something... BUT she also has a lot of songs related to norse mythology outofwhich Trollabundin (Pronounced trodlabundin, because double l gives a dl sound) is by far the best. She sings that one in Färöese which is almost a language isolate preserving many structures from old norse. And she also does a spell there ( = Galdr, see english wikipedia) which is rather unique. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaegj62Bd8iae84.html&ab_channel=1210beth ...and the scenery behind the "stage" is mindblowing ... also

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody I'm going to highly recommend you watch Eivør's performance of The Last Kingdom main theme at the Hammersmith Apollo. This is one of the songs in which she pulls out a set of vocal mechanics which are incredibly rare to see (though ancient). I don't want to spoil anything, but it's definitely REACTION-inducing.

This one of my favourite non-metal tracks. Eivor has such a primal sound that tugs at my soul haha. She is from the Faroe Islands, and she also writes/composes in her native language/tradition. This performance was filmed on the shores of Norway at a little hillside farm. It is a must see! Especially because she uses a traditional style of throat singing that is mind blowing!

very recently she played a concert for the danish television with a symphonic orchestra together with einar selvik from wardruna. it's called the symphonic viking voyage. tròdlabùndin was also among the setlist. other songs for example the last kingdom main theme live. she made the best cover version of gloomy sunday. truth live at studio bloch. and i really love boxes, live recording from 2012.

I don't know if you know this. But Eivør is from the lonely islands in the middle of the stormy North Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. The islands are called the Faroe Islands. The population of the Faroe Islands and that means also Eivør are direct descendants of the Vikings and of the Celts in Great Britain. The language Eivør often sings in is her Faroese language, which all Faroese on the Faroe Islands speak. It is the old Viking language which is the Faroese's first language, even though the Faroese can speak several languages. Of course, it sounds more authentic with the real Viking language when she sings about Vikings and Viking sagas. Eivør is a fantastic singer with a fantastic and unique voice, who unfortunately does not get the attention and likes on KZread that she deserves. She has so many great performances and songs that people on youtube should hear. Eivør sings in all seasons of The Last Kingdom and the film The Last Kingdom. She also sings in the Faroese/Viking language in The Last Kingdom and it gives the perfect effect to those watching The Last Kingdom when the Vikings arrive, attack, mourn, etc. Recommend Eivør to others on KZread so we can see more good reactions from good people on KZread.

Agree. You’ve got to do the original version of ‘Helvegen’ first with Aurora guesting with Wardruna. But after that find time to do the more modern take on that song with the live recording from Norwegian band Kalandra, with the beautiful lead vocal from Katrine Stenbekk.

Both as a songwriter and singer, Eivør is up among the very best, she deserves a lot more international recognition.

How about some Leprous, to keep the Nordic prog train moving alongside all this other great music. I'd recommend Castaway Angels and/or Slave (esp. the Live at Rockefeller clip), first one is smoother and floaty, the latter for a darker mood.

sho genuine reaction, I felt the same way

Eivor is a fantastic vocalist. She can do a lot with her voice..stunning lady for sure. Tha band is great to. I have tickets to her concert in Stockholm in october already. Don`t want to miss that. Thank you for reacting to this wonderful artist. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

For another stunning live performance from Eivør from earlier this year checkout this rendition of the theme song for the tv Viking drama ‘The Last Kingdom’ kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYhql7pplaW6daQ.html

She has everything from nearly normal pop-ish (a step above the norm, as you heard) to traditional folk (as in ancient songs) and has a very lovely voice. Eivør is played on Radio Paradise a good bit, and I am familiar with her from there. I use RP as my day to day work radio. Folks kinda get weided by the range (Eivør, African music, Classical, Jazz, etc. Eclectic is the byword)

Eivør from the Faroe Islands! ❤ I've seen her live twice! She has sung this differently over the years. This video is one of my favourite versions! And I'm like you, the drums also threw me. Please also react to the unique voices of Björk or Beth Gibbons of Portishead.❤

Susanne Sundfør has been an _essential_ part of my music rotation since discovering her completely randomly back in ~2010. I sometimes do music discovery by entering random terms into a music platform's search engine and listening to the search results. I had just been reminded of the existence of the sweet treat known as "Turkish delight," so I entered it into Grooveshark's search box on a whim, in an office building in Indiana. I've loved every Susanne Sundfør album since then. Absolutely her albums are a "desert island" pick for me.

another very interesting and underrated artist is composer, singer organist anna von hausswolff from sweden. she is a genre on her own, sometimes described as post metal. just grab your headphones and listen to the first three tracks of "death magic." or take one of her eerie music videos, for example "come wander with me" or "the mysterious vanishing of electra". live versions? here you go: "stranger" live, "funeral for my future children" live, "mountains crave" live. or you discover her very other side with "how many more of these?" or "they hoped for a name/delta sleep" and she runs the record lable pomperipossa records. her recent album "all thoughts fly" is an instrumental album, just a girl and a pipe organ. on her last tour some french fundamentalistic christs demonstrated against her and accused her for satanism (which is of course bullshit) and they blocked her and the audience from entering the venue, a catholic church. the concert was held a couple of days later in a protestantic church. anyway. absolute marvellous artist
