Breathe is a beautiful song, and one we all desperately need. Their collaboration, which has been underway since 2013, is apparent throughout this song. This song is not just a song. It is a conversation that has been built on years of trust, development and musical understanding.
Halldór’s mastery of mood is evident in this track. The song opens with gentle piano chords, immediately establishing a sense of space and openness. Electronic elements are delicately mixed with naturalStrings to produce a sound that’s both modern and organic in Breathe.
Aldís Fjóla’s voice is utterly enchanting. Her voice is soft, seductive and she enunciates each syllable with clarity and warmth. The violin sneaks up on you like a second heart, warping and swaying under her voice and providing a beautiful and gentle pain for the whole song.
And it is this authenticity that makes Breathe so special. In a world where music is often a one-size-fits-all, Aldís and Halldór want you to just be. It’s a dialogue, not a monologue, a message that we are not alone in hard times. Breathe is soulful, beautiful and will stay with you!
