Our favorite Icelandic “alternative/indie rock chick turned pop diva”, Hildur, just released her brand new single, Næsta sumar (Next Summer) today! Check it out here, and let us know what you think!
Hildur + StopWaitGo = Success
Hildur wrote Næsta sumar this summer, working with the boys from StopWaitGo. As most you will remember, they are the team behind both the winner and runner-up of Söngvakeppnin 2015; María Ólafs’ “Lítil skref/Unbroken” and Friðrik Dór’s “Í siðasta skipti/Once Again“. This is the first time she has worked with StopWaitGo, but judging by the result we bet it won’t be the last! Perhaps they’ll even do something together for Söngvakeppnin 2018…
Singing and songwriting all over
Hildur has been very active this summer, both recording, releasing and performing her own music. She has also witten a fair bit of new music, both at home in Iceland and at songwriting camps both in Denmark and Germany. Earlier this summer we also saw another possible superstar partnership… Today, Hildur told visir.is that she’s off to Germany for another songwriting camp in September. She has also written a song for some Finnish artists, who later this week will arrive in Iceland to record the song.
Exciting times ahead for Hildur! We can’t wait to hear more from her! Would you like to see her back on the Söngvakeppnin stage? And if so; would you rather see another “Fjaðrir” or another “Bammbaramm“?
