Noteworthy modern classical artist Eydís Evensen debuts as a vocalist for “Dreaming of Light” from her second album The Light (released May 26, 2023 on Sony/XXIM) and adds another layer of elegantly rendered, warmly introspective atmosphere to her minimalist piano composition. In her performance you can hear an ear for shifting dynamics and tonal accents to suggest a gentle swell of emotion and a subtle yearning for an illumination of feeling. The lyrics in Icelandic are in perfect sync with Evensen’s evocative and almost percussive piano work and draw one in immediately to the quietly joyous mood of the song. In the music video we see the artist in a spacious room lit with soft spotlights interspersed with with views of a landscape near dawn and/or sunset, highlighting the liminal aesthetic of the song with the mind resting on the border between sleep and wakefulness.
