Wait a second! This is not the Aldís Fjóla we remember! Our memories involve a fierce rocker goddess, an impression suggested by her previous EP, ‘Pipedreams’. It turns out that the Icelandic songstress is a force of nature, capable of eclectic artistry and a variety of moods and melodies. It’s very clear in ‘Quiet the Storm’, Aldís Fjóla’s latest record, a stunning cinematic piece that highlights the heartwarming quality of her vocals, together with the ability to connect with the listeners on a deeper level.
Leaving fuzzy guitar tones behind in favour of long strings and ethereal soundscapes, ‘Quiet the Storm’ is the definition of ‘bucolic’. Built on charming and intimate piano, fleeting melodies and blessed with overall intimacy, the track reveals a side of the Icelandic talent that we are pleased to have discovered. In a way, one could draw a parallel between such a gentle, lulling single and the immense magic of Iceland’s natural landscape.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Fjóla explains: “It’s an ode to loyal friends, the ones that give shelter in the silence, stand tall when you break and read your mind when you think you are fooling them with your mask.”
