2021 begins proper | Til hamingju Fríd

Listen to the amazing new A/B from Fríd below via Spotify
starting a new chapter of which there is so much to be excited about.

From Fríd: "I love being in nature and the surroundings and bringing some of this energy into my songs. The adventure of it all. There are some sound recordings included from a trip I took around the West Fjords - I think it gives the song even more atmosphere and character."
