a real hit single I discovered somewhat late

þú sagðir elskan af því bara
veist þú gerir mig vitlausan
þarftu alltaf að vera fara?
eða ertu bara að daðra?

hvernig væri að vera kyrr í smá?
mér liggur á, mér liggur á

svo ef við erum bara að daðra
mun ég gera þig vitlausa
tala bara smá við aðra
passa að vera ekkert að smjaðra

ertu ekki takinu að ná?
með augun blá, með augun blá

þú sagðir elskan af því bara
veist þú gerir mig vitlausa
þarftu alltaf að fara?
eða ertu bara að daðra?

hvernig væri að vera kyrr í smá?
mér liggur á, mér liggur á

svo hvernig væri að vera sama
ef ég væri bara að daðra
hvernig væri að vera vitleysan
sem þú sagðir við aðra?

hvernig væri að vera kyrr í smá?
mér liggur á, mér liggur á

Vaginaboys - Elskan af því bara [ft. Birna Guðmunds]

Soffía Björg
I Lie

Icelandic songstress Soffía Björg hails from rural Borgarfjörður, a fjord just up north from the Reykjavik capital. The area is characterised by barren beauty; vast and unusually green fields are cut through with rocky belts and colossal mountains. And although the many waters of Borgarfjörður appear calm, the fjord has significant undercurrents and shallows. The music of Soffía Björg inherits the same traits, where ethereal heart tugging beauty is interspersed with roaring, aggressive emotionality.

Soffía Björg’s debut album, where said musical palette is on display, was recorded in Iceland, at Studio Sundlaugin (‘The Swimming Pool’) a warm and atmospheric place. There she was accompanied by a crack team of fellow countrymen; guitar virtuoso Pétur Ben, drummer Kristofer Rodriquez and bassist extraordinaire Ingibjörg Elsa Turchi. At the production helm is Ben Hillier, who has worked with Blur, Elbow, Graham Coxon, Nadine Shah and Depeche Mode, to name but a few.

The results are lived-in and dramatic, as the music draws from americana, folk and her undeniable roots described in the opening paragraph. Soffía’s deeply resounding voice enhances the proceedings, as it clearly stems from an old, wise soul - completely transcending her age. Like a raw Norah Jones, Soffia Björg envelopes the listener with a warm embrace but at the same time there's trouble lurking just out of sight.

In the first official single, ‘I Lie’, Soffía leans into a dark-hued place and unashamedly bashes out a fierce rocker addressing broken promises and sunken dreams. Almost cut-throat in it’s energy, the song is a no holds barred plea where Soffía bravely shows her teeth, lyrically and vocal wise.
