Emilíana Torrini, one of the best Icelandic singers, returns to
Prague!
Emilíana Torrini possesses a unique voice, which is due to her dual origins –
it combines her Italian father's explosiveness and love of life with
Icelandic identity from her mother. Therefore, her repertoire includes both
whimsical songs and melancholic and intimate confessions. Emiliana
Torrini's voice even fascinated New Zealand director Peter Jackson, who
asked her to sing „Gollum's Song“ for the end credits of
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. She thus joined the ranks of Annie Lenox
and Enya, who have sung songs for other parts of the fantasy saga. Torrini also
occasionally writes for other artists – for example, she co-wrote Kylie
Minogue's hit Slow, which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2003. But
most of her attention, of course, is devoted to her own recordings, on which she
combines tranquil folk melodies with electronica.
