Posted February 20, 200817 yr http://www.emiliana.nu/galerie/galleries/emiliana_misc/emiliana_misc1.jpg Anyone here knows (and likes) Emiliana Torrini, an Icelandic singer? She will release a new album this year Torrini released two albums: Love in the Time of Science (1999) and Fisherman's Woman (2004). The first album (and my fave) is more electronic and the second is more folky To Be Free Mz2TKD0Rct8 Baby Blue sjdE7OVu0nA Easy YdDZqYlDRuI Dead Things 7qphtqpcZC0 Unemployed in Summertime 30x3DJodf2E Sunny Road MyuL1z2tejs Heartstopper yZc0y0HQO78 Gollum's Song (from Lord of the Rings) 1CWoGn88oeE

February 24, 200817 yr http://www.emiliana.nu/galerie/galleries/emiliana_misc/emiliana_misc1.jpg Anyone here knows (and likes) Emiliana Torrini, an Icelandic singer? She will release a new album this year Torrini released two albums: Love in the Time of Science (1999) and Fisherman's Woman (2004). The first album (and my fave) is more electronic and the second is more folky Yeah got the first album too - quite cool, but will always be overshadowed by bjork (i can see the new bjork headlines now :lol: ) if there's some more eg white co-writes on the new album like the first could do good things...well if joss stone, will young, adele, duffy etc etc
February 26, 200817 yr Author OK she's not the new Bjork but she's very good on her own... I watched some live performances from her best fansite and I was surprised by her wonderful voice :)
March 1, 200817 yr OK she's not the new Bjork but she's very good on her own... well we know she's not the new Bjork, it was trying to get the idea of lazy journolism (like how Lykke Li is the new Robyn :yawn: ) and anyway i guess jounos would have gone with that instead of saying she is the new Curt Smith :lol: http://www.dcricks.com/curt_albums.jpg
March 2, 200817 yr I remember when Love In The Time Of Science was released.. I really liked Easy when it came out and To Be Free as well! I wasn't that bigger fan of Unemployed In Summertime but one of my brothers bought the single!
March 2, 200817 yr 'Love in the Time of Science' is a terrific album - I love it. 'To Be Free' and 'Unemployed In Summertime' are both classic singles. The difference between Torrini and Bjork? Torrini employs decent songwriters.... and has much stricter quality control ;)
March 2, 200817 yr I love To Be Free and it is one of my fav songs of all time, I hardly know any of her other music tho so I'll watch those videos tomorrow, thanks for posting :D
March 3, 200817 yr Author 'Love in the Time of Science' is a terrific album - I love it. 'To Be Free' and 'Unemployed In Summertime' are both classic singles. Same here... I knew I will like this album since the first listen Now I'm trying to get into her second album The difference between Torrini and Bjork? Torrini employs decent songwriters.... and has much stricter quality control ;) ^_^ Also her voice isn't as high as Bjork but defintelly clearer... PS this is her best site
March 3, 200817 yr 'Love in the Time of Science' is a terrific album - I love it. 'To Be Free' and 'Unemployed In Summertime' are both classic singles. The difference between Torrini and Bjork? Torrini employs decent songwriters.... well i guess that depends on your opinion of people like Brother Beyond and Tears For Fears :lol: however thinking about Closest Thing To Heaven tho...actually they missed out trying to catch the Donnie Darko freek #1 - if this was released a couple of years later it could have been linked with the feeling's brand of dodgy soft-rock zF_5X7oUZWQ 1H0kaasdkiU and here Roland Jaime Orzabal de la Quintana goes indie-rock with Raoul And The Kings Of Spain...and you have to agree much better than the song above..or worlds apart :lol: Also her voice isn't as high as Bjork but defintelly clearer... actually was watching the sunnyroad video this morning on dvd and even tho Arcitecture in Helsinki came up next - what i really wanted to watch next was... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/55/Andsheclosedhereyes.jpg Stina Nordenstam - Little Star sQIowXjGGMI this is totaly gorgous record
March 4, 200817 yr Author I just read her profile at AllMusic here Interesting: on similar artists you can see some famous artists/bands like Goldfrapp, Beth Orton, Bjork, Tori Amos, Sade, Cocteau Twins, Nina Persson, Sinead O'Connor, Sneaker Pimps, Sade, Portishead, Kate Bush, and Shirley Manson PS ...and Toni Halliday Edited March 4, 200817 yr by Alin
