...an Icelandic Uptown Top Ranking

After the earthy beauty and hushed mood of her 2005 album Fisherman’s Wife and her contributions to The Lord Of The Rings film soundtrack, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Icelandic songwriter has also written hits for the likes of Kylie.

Me And Armini, the first single from her new album of the same name is a dark tale of stalkers but is built around a sweet reggae rhythm like an Icelandic Uptown Top Ranking. Casting off the woollen sweaters in favour of Caribbean beach wear, this is a brilliantly crafted pop song that Kylie should have begged her for.
