Gyda Valtysdottir shares Kjartan Sveinsson co-written single, “Mother Pearl”
Icelandic cellist Gyda Valtysdottir has released “Mother Pearl” the title track of her upcoming album Mother Pearl, co-written with Sigur Ros keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson.
“Mother Pearl” follows previous singles “White Noise”, “Mirror”, and “Checking In”, arriving as the fourth preview of a collection of songs that serve as a “meditation on creation, connection and inner life”.
Discussing the song, Valtysdottir says: "Life is a miracle, existence is a miracle, reality is a miracle, technology is a miracle, creation is a miracle. The song was co-composed by a miracle, effortlessly with a dear friend Kjartan Sveinsson (Sigur Rós), the last song to be written for the album & it ended up becoming the title song."
While the release of Mother Pearl is steadily approaching, Valtysdottir will be soon taking on a new project, as she has been confirmed to score Residente's upcoming movie Porto Rico, starring Bad Bunny, Edward Norton, Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen.
