Greatest live performance ever in my opinion. Eivor is perfection. She is a musical genius.

Haha, you've just witnessed what I consider one of the greatest live performances available on KZread!😄 Please give "Gullspunnin", another fabulous live performance by Eivor, a listen next. You'll be blown away by that one too!

She’s so lovely

Next song from Eivor should definitely be when she single handedly (litterally..) created magic while performing Trodlabundin in the outdoors consert on the mountains above the Sognefjord (Norway) 10.08.13.

Eivør is a Nordic spirit who walks among us. She has no equal. When she chants, that's her Nordic goddess rising up out of her human persona. No other explanation suffices.

Eivør (Or Eivor internationally) is not the band name, it is her name: Eivør Palsdottir. She is a faroese singer/songwriter. She correctly lives here in Denmark. She has a very large back catalogue of music, some in faroese, som in english. She made the score for a TV show. Her music is a rabbit hole of amazing stuff. Imagine Auroras back catalogue in 15 years for comparison. But what I love most about her is that during corona lockdown, she started doing these live streams from her home, with her husband on piano. She would sing and drink wine, take requests from the chat, only for the sake of keeping peoples spirits up. Certainly one of the things that pulled me through.

Yes I corrected myself at the end of the video. And that’s amazing can’t wait to hear more from her

She has a very impressive range. She seemed completely comfortable in everything she sang. It was a great performance.

Eivor is enchanting. I saw her live and it was even better. If thats possible. I thought she was drawing my soul from my body. Every song she performed left me breathless. She is a gem. 💎

Chill bumps in the head are a side effect of listening to Eivor. My favourite artist/voice/sound/person. You won't find a better live act anywhere.

Last kindom or Trøllabundin like I suggested in Instagram before.

We have here in Nordic countries very good ground water and Norway also mountain streams. 😊 And ø is Faraoese/Norvegian/Danish version of Swedish/Finnish/German ö like e is pronounced in the word The u in burn.

Yeah its Aurora's mother hahahaha 🤭🫡e EIVOR is the name of the vocalist like Aurora she is also magical 🔥🔥

Eivor is her name. She is so talented. Those Scandinavian women are spectacular singers Aurora, Kalandra and Eivor are my favs. If you want to continue with her, I would suggest two music videos. Yes, I know you don't generally like them, but trust me, these are Good. The first one is "True love" and the second is '"Into the Mist"

Still so epic...🇸🇪

Another nordic angel ! Love your reaction!

One of the greatest live performances 🫡🔥🔥🔥

thank you!!!! I too often wonder what is going on with these Nordic singers and musicians right now!! Agreed - STUNNING!!!!

This song and this performance is a pure diamond. I don't understand this song is not known in North America. Eivør is an amazing singer, musician and song writer.

here we go 😂

The live version of this song is better than the recording IMHO. Love your reaction! Her voice is unbelievable. So much talent in those Nordic countries. Viking ancestry maybe?

This one and her other live performance is out of this world all band is out of this world. Highly recommend her life performance in her song called wake me up absolute proof of how awesome is her band and her voice one and only.

So much fun watching people react to this the first time. She is wonderful isn't she. Yes, Trollabundin (the symphonic version is also a treat, and True Love!

Superb reaction Ashlena! Farao Islands was colonized by the Norwegians from AD 800 and up to Norways union with Denmark in 1380. It is strong genetic ties with norwegians there.

Wow! Her voice blows my mind! In some notes she remembers me to Kate Bush. Beautiful ❤

I was checking to see if anyone had posted the Kate Bush analogy and totally agree.

Welcome to Eivør-land! Check out more of her music - she's fantastic and a great live artist!

Vocal powerhouse, great songwriter, she is fantastic.

Thank YOU for EIVOR, I am obsessed with Eivor already for 3 years... (after being 80-ies and classic rock fan for... a 35 previous years? 😄)... and still she shoot up to be my No.1 now... I did have a chance to talk to her - she is a very nice and friendly, down-to-earth, a beautiful lady, with very nice, intelligent sense of humour!🖤😀 ... Definitely, have a look at the British TV show "The Last Kingdom|" - the music she did together with John Lunn, ...though, her music with her band will remain The Best😀

Eivor is amazing. I heard her firs time in 2003. She was working with a Swedish artist Anders Hagberg Who wrote the title track to a series that was on swedish television. Eivor sang on that track called "Stenristarna" It was a documentary series about the first people in scandinavia. A became a fan from the very first note. A remarkable artist Who can do almost anything with her voice. Great reaction. Cheers from Sweden.❤

Eivør definitely gives me goosebumps all over. I can relate. 😂 She's one of my all time favourite artists and amazing live.

I've been a fan of Eivor for a while now, but it was this performance that did it for me.

I saw her last year in Manchester, England and she was amazing. I'm seeing her again in 1 week in London at the Royal Albert Hall and can't wait. She is amazing live. ❤

Loved your reaction! That is the appropriate reaction to watching Eivør for the first time, especially when it's this specific performance. 👍🤟

I don't think that got something to do with the water ;-) I think it's got more to do with the industry that allowes them to be who they want to be, to be CREATIVE, wish is pretty rare arounf here. When your minde is not stock in a format it can fly way and beyond, digging deeper in your routh and bring something new from it, so the voice and way of expression is not stock in the format either. I love her, and realy enjoye her more ''tribal'' sound. I read that she came to Canada to learn throat singning with native trib, she is stuning ( no boundry) Love withnessing you reaction. Have a good week-end 🙂

She's amazing!

Love Aurora, ha ha, but I discovered Eivor around same period. Both amazing talents from ,Norway. Great performance. She also does old style Nordic music.❤

Great reaction, Eivor is a phenomenon. She sings the soundtrack to the Netflix series “ The Last Kingdom.” I’m pretty sure she could invoke the Old Gods at will😃

Crazy good music 🎶 thanks

Thank you for the reaction of one of my favorite vocalists. Eivor is amazing. I would suggest her performance of The Last Kingdom: Main Theme (Live at Hammersmith Apollo), as well as the video of Trodlabundin as another commenter mentioned. I would suggest two other artists to react to that I find absolutely spellbinding. The first is the group Heilung. Heilung is the most unusual, soul inspiring groups. I would suggest their video of Anuana (the official video). It is not only a beautiful song, but also an amazing video. Would also suggest their live performance of LIFA - In Maidjan LIVE at Castlefest, which really shows the female vocalists amazing abilities. Heilung has a huge following, I have seen them in concert, it was truly an experience. The other performer I would suggest is a young Russian singer who many consider the best female singer in the world. She has the most amazing and unusual tambre, control, and is truly the Queen of Goosebumps. Diana Ankudinova was abandoned at a train station in Russia at the age of 3 with a broken collar bone. She was so traumatized, she could barely speak. At the orphanage, they noticed her singing to cartoons and used singing as therapy. I would suggest starting with her cover of the Elvis classic "Can't Help Falling in Love" at 18 on a Russian TV singing competition. Also Rechenka (14), cover of Wicked Games (15), and even recently her performance with an orchestra covering the songs of Hans Zimmer. Diana performance for the "Dune" soundtrack is amazingly powerful. She has a huge following, suggest you look on her KZread page to avoid copyright issues with the videos. Best of luck, and thanks again for your reactions.

I'm going to see her in October. She is remarkable

hello ashlena. please check out her 'trøllabundin' from 2013. it's so good. and you also would love the band 'heilung' (which translates into healing, that's what the band stays for).

Another great song from her is "true love" live SOFAR-session.

Glad you got around doing this reaction. Knew you`d like it. Another two breathtaking performances of hers are True love - 2012 recording and Gulspunnin from I luftini.

Thank you ! - for reacting to Aurora and now Eivør ! - now you can add Susanne Sundfør ( also amazing musican and voice like the to other ) - Undercover, Alyosha, Blomi ) - !!!Please

youre soo lucky

Ha, Ashlena, I got chillbumps too. Since I heard Mari Boine, Sigrid Moldestad, Rebekka Nilsson and Aino Löwenmark from Fjarill, I am obsessed with nordic singing too. It always gives me physical reactions.

Great reaction to the wonderful Eivor! For an even deeper dive into Nordic music, check out Heilung, I'm sure you'd love them! Try Anoana, official video, for a "gentle introduction" Once you're hooked, there are many different live recordings which will blow your mind.

I would love to see Eivor and Aurora perform together, they are now my 2 favourite vocalists. They have actually both sang with Wardruna, singing Helvegen, but not together. PS. I should have said before, that Torshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands, which are actually 900 miles from Denmark. It's only a small town in international terms. The Faroe Islands, are actually closer to Scotland and Iceland, than Denmark, and are very remote. They're an autonomous territory of Denmark, from their Viking history. The crowd was silent and so respectful, because Eivor is quite literally their most famous daughter.

I have to say, as a Dane, that Faroe Islands is not Denmark! They may be a part of the Kingdom of Denmark (which is mostly a formality), but they are very much their own nation and people.

I'm Faroese like Eivør and you worrying about her pronouns made me chuckle. No offense to people in the Anglosphere or wherever else that's something you worry about but worrying about pronouns is not really a thing here. Furthermore she has one of those last names that uses her father's name + "daughter" so the pronouns are pretty clear when you know the language. Made me wonder if there are many non-binary people in Iceland and how they deal with everyone having "son" or "daughter" in their last names. The audience being silent is because they're locals and familiar with her, they know she's gonna pull off some high notes and they want to hear it. They might also have been told that everything was being recorded and didn't want to mess up the audio.
