Emilíana Torrini
Emilíana Torrini is an Icelandic musician and singer. Her composition Jungle Drum made people dance all over the world, Gollum's Song from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, she moved the audience with her lyrical arrangements. She picked up the club atmosphere while working in the electronic band GusGus, and transformed the intimacy and lyricism from her experience studying choral singing and classical music.
Her debut album Love in the Time of Science attracted attention also by the fact that it was produced by Roland Orzabal (Tears For Fears). On the next record Fisherman's Woman, triphop rhythms were reflected in a more folk expression. Emiliána has always been close to electronics thanks to her collaborations with Kid Koala, Paul Oakenfold and Thievery Corporation. The connection of electronics with acoustic instruments also took place on the other two records Me and Armini; Tookah. The collaboration with the Belgian ensemble The Colorist Orchestra resulted in the live album The Colorist & Emiliana Torrini and the studio album Racing the Storm, which was released in 2023.
Emiliana Torrini released Miss Flower in 2024, the intention of which was to make a pop electronic record with intimate vocals, as in her favorite song I´m Your Man by Leonard Cohen. The first published single Let's Keep Dancing combines dance arrangements with gentle singing and discusses the meeting of two lovers during the last dance.
