Aldís Fjóla’s powerful new release: ”Burn”

Icelandic-born farm girl Aldís Fjóla made her professional debut in a local singing competition at only 10 years of age. She took it very seriously and, even though she lost, she continued to write dramatic songs about her cat’s passing and other things that needed to be said.

She buried herself in rock, grunge, and upbeat music during her teenage years, but was constantly searching for the agony, sarcasm, and significance of the songs. At the age of 16, Fjóla listened to bands such as Skunk Anansie, Pearl Jam, No Doubt, and Alanis Morisette, relating to the raw sorrows contained within and channeling them into her own unique sound creation.

Fjóla began working with Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson, an extremely accomplished and well-respected composer and audio engineer, who helped her to breathe an added lease of life into her songs to take them to the top level. Her debut album, Shadows, was published in 2020, and sends a powerful message that musically mirrors the grief and vulnerability that Fjóla experienced during that time.

Her next release is her upcoming EP scheduled to drop in October this year and is inspired by hers and Stefán Örn’s roots in grunge rock music.

“Burn” is the first song from forthcoming EP, which draws on all of her influences to provide listeners with a dramatic and dark pop rock production that aggressively demands your attention. Fjóla explains: “It’s a conversation with myself about how we always beat ourselves down and how to find your own path when everyone has an opinion on what you should do.”
