I love the production approach on this one...You're a pro for sure, brilliant!!

I'm really happy to share with you the first single of my upcoming album. A million thanks to Stefán Örn @stebbi30000, the mastermind behind the production, most of the instruments and mix. Magnús Trygvason Elíassen played the drums and Sylvía Hlynsdóttir a bit of trumpet. Sigurdór Guðmundsson mastered the track. Album artwork is by the talented Anna Maggý. 

Listen and feel free to share the song 🤍 I wrote the song and lyrics in 2017 after reading #metoo stories from countless women and seeing the hostile reaction in comment sections. People "shielding themselves from what's uneasy to see, instead of shielding the ones in need". Survivors, I hear you and stand with you.

LYRICS
Let me move like a tide come in 
calmly, with ease, sliding in between 
Cold as the truth I share 

Break the silence, now speak up 
for the ones who might comprehend 
help them understand 

Shielding themselv􏰀es from 􏰁what􏰂's 􏰃uneasy􏰄 to see 
Shielding themselves instead of those ones in need 
Change is a birth from a mother in chains 

Righteous anger breaking out 
found tucked under, beaten down 
Throughout centuries 

Tainted reasons for fearing change 
Mending a flaw􏰁 doesn'􏰂t mean re􏰀venge 
Can'􏰂t 􏰄they􏰃 u􏰃nderstand? 

Shielding themselv􏰀es from 􏰁what􏰂's 􏰃uneasy􏰄 to see 
Shielding themselves instead of those ones in need 
Change is a birth from a mother in chains

Injustice is faced everyday We gather our cause, gather our strength 
They fight with fire, we are the wave 
Injustice is faced everyday
Sister

Sister

This song is really dear to me. I wrote it as a secret wedding gift for a friend around three years ago when she got married in Amsterdam. I flew out and attended the wedding as a surprise and played the happy couple the song. Now it's been recorded and since this friend is a musicican too Sylvía Hlynsdóttir - I asked her to record trumpets on the song. Here is the result. Easy to choose is Sylvía's and Daniel's love story. 

Million thanks to Stefan Orn Gunnlaugsson at Stúdíó Bambus who made this song gorgeous, Magnús Trygvason Eliassen who drummed and Skonrokk Mastering for mastering. Photo by Anna Maggý 

I really hope you like it 
Please share the song if you love it
Love to you all

“Right Where You Belong” is a haunting electronic pop ballad by Icelandic recording artist, writer, & producer, MIMRA. It's a message of both encouragement and acceptance to anyone struggling with mental health, inspired by her loved ones with anxiety & depression. Produced in a minimal yet striking way by Iceland-by-way-of-LA pop artist ZÖE, it artfully highlights the subject matter of the lyric.

Right Where You Belong

MIMRA is the guise of Icelandic singer, composer and producer María Magnúsdóttir, creating her own style of electro-acoustic folk-pop. MIMRA released the album ‘Sinking Island’ to critical acclaim in October 2017. The album contains twelve original songs written and produced by MIMRA, combining electro-pop with orchestral arrangements.

,,She carves her own space between electronic vibes and multi-layered classic arrangements for a full band. From the very first song of the album, Our Great Escape, MIMRA grabs attention with her wide range of voice and deep passion in personal lyrics. If you look for being touched by music, you will get it here.” – Rvk on Stage

MIMRA is currently based in Reykjavík, Iceland, regularly performing in concert.
