Heaven To A Heathen – Elín Hall
“The song is, in its own way, about being addicted to
feeling bad — a kind of love letter to the pain that
becomes your shelter, your comfort zone.
Toxic relationships or toxic mindsets.
Sometimes it’s more terrifying to break a pattern than
to stay stuck in it. As humans, we’re wired to fear uncertainty.
But the only way to live this short life is to leap.”
– Elín Hall

from the press:
“Elín Hall embarks on a new chapter, releasing her
first-ever English-language single “Heaven to a Heathen.” In this
unfamiliar territory, Elín does not seem out of place, drawing on
the breadth of other Icelandic artists predominantly singing in English.
The early works of Emiliana Torrini comes first to mind,
as Elín’s songwriting is inspired by alternative rock of a similar era.”
– Jóhannes Bjarkason from Reykjavík Grapevine
