On his fifth studio album, ‘Julia, Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeirenters intriguing and uncharted territory. After years of engagingtranslators such as John Grant and working with the poetry of hisfather, Einar Georg Einarsson, Ásgeir has penned his lyrics by himselffor the first time in his long and celebrated career. The result is adeeply contemplative body of work, steeped in nostalgia, that seesÁsgeir meditating on his past regrets as well as his hopes for thefuture, guided by the spectre of the album’s title character.

Ásgeir has long been lauded for his intricate folk-pop, lush production,and wistful, emotive falsetto. ‘Julia’ marks a shift toward not just lyricalself-reliance but cathartic directness, songs that feel not just exquisitelyperformed, but lived in. “This was kind of the first time I was writing lyricstotally on my own,” he shares. “It was scary. I’m still trying to find myselfwithin that. But I tried to open myself up and I learned a lot through thatprocess, and it was definitely therapeutic for me.”

This new sense of vulnerability threads through the album’s ten tracks,written and recorded over the course of nearly two years. Many of thesongs were first composed on guitar, with Ásgeir aiming for simplicity,prioritising melody, clarity, and meaning. The production, co-developedwith longtime collaborator Guðm. “Kiddi” Kristinn Jónsson, remainsorganic and understated, allowing Ásgeir’s voice, and importantly hisvoice as a writer, to come forward.
