Electronica Artist Eivør Drops Her New Video For "Only Love", Featuring Ásgeir
/
Faroese electronica artist Eivør has just released a video for “Only Love” featuring vocals from Ásgeir. The track is featured on Eivør’s new album “Segl” released earlier this fall on BFD/The Orchard/Kobalt.
Including co-production from Lana Del Rey collaborator Dan Heath, “Segl” is the follow-up to Eivør’s widely-praised, 2017 English-language debut, “Slør”, which triggered an appearance on Later….With Jools Holland. Eivør soundtracks the current series of Netflix/BBC flagship The Last Kingdom (co-written with Ivor Novello/BAFTA-nominated John Lunn), and her music has previously been synched on Homeland & Game Of Thrones alongside hit video games Metal Gear Survive and God Of War.
The video for “Only Love” was shot on location in Iceland and directed by Icelandic artist Anna Maggý. Speaking about the process, Eivør says, “I wrote the lyrics with David Hopkins and when this song was written I thought about “love” and all the things it makes us do. I will never get tired of writing about this subject. It’s the most complex and yet the most basic of all things. It has so many shapes and shades and on this life journey it takes us through the whole palette of emotions. It’s both strong and fragile at once. It breaks us and makes us whole. Sometimes we have to lose it first to find it and when we find it we are afraid of losing it. I believe that everyone we ever loved will always be a part of us somehow deep within. Even when the love didn’t last. I find much beauty in that.”
Speaking about their collaboration on the track, Ásgeir adds, “I got to know Eivør when I sang with her on her Christmas shows in Reykjavik in 2018 and we got along really well and I enjoyed working with her and her band. Later on Eivør sent me the track ‘Only Love’ and I was honored that she asked me to sing with her on this song.”
