Eivor calls her Nordic home in the remote Faroe Islands a landscape of extremes. Sitting in the North Atlantic Ocean just above Scotland and southeast of Iceland, with a total population of about 50,000, the climate is "full of contrasts-very dark, heavy winters and bright summers." Her album ENN ties back to Eivor's Nordic roots. Most of the lyrics, sung entirely in Faroese, were penned in collaboration with the Faroese poet Marjun Syderbo Kjelnæs. The title track is a symphonic, war-torn space odyssey. But the album also dwells on more earthly concerns. Lead single "Jardartra" is told from the perspective of a wounded mother earth, who calls to us with a steadily thumping bassline that's as dark and warm as our planet's molten core. "Come lie down in my blue embrace", Eivor sings, reaching into her operatic register, as if beckoning us toward the light. On ENN, Eivor moves heaven and earth.
