Soft music to cure restless souls
Are you am
ong those people with a stressful job, working sometimes 10 to 12 hours per day, and when you come home from work, you just can not support any annoying, small sound that may appear- a door scratching, a dog barking on the street or the neighbor at 2 listening to some punk-rock music. If, at least, once in a lifetime you felt like this (I am sure you have), I will share with you my latest discovery: Emiliana Torrini.
In little words, this Icelandic singer launched on the market in the early 1994 (shame on me that I discovered her music just now) but gained success just in the ‘99 when she launched her 4th album “Love in the time of science” followed by “Fisherman’s Woman” -another great album- in 2005. Emiliana also sang the Gollum’s song for the Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers movie and was very much appreciated for her interpretation. Very often she is compared to Bjork (also from Iceland) but her style is quite different, and she is succeeded to differentiate herself from the better know singer, Bjork, creating her own style. The music she sings is relaxing and mild and her videos are truly original. In 2006, she was nominated for the Icelandic Music Awards held in Reykjavik at four categories and she won at three of them.
You should try this “cure” in one of those moments when you would do anything to get the stress out- for me it really works.
