Ásgeir teases the release of his fifth album with new single, "Smoke"
Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeir has released the new single, "Smoke", as the latest teaser of his forthcoming fifth studio album, Julia.
Ásgeir's new single "Smoke" was recorded live with a four-piece band and later overlaid with pump organ. The track revolves around “feeling like you’ve lost your inner voice. Some years ago, I felt like I ignored it so much that in the end it faded away, both in terms of music and life, and it felt terrible. I felt like I had gone against it so much that it stopped speaking to me. In a way I’ve always felt like that’s a feminine, motherly voice that leads you in the right direction.”
Julia is out on 13 February via One Little Independent Records.
