4th studio album by Teitur follows the 2007-album Káta Hornið of songs exclusively containing songs in Faroe Islandic presumably made as mere promotion for his tour in his native surroundings.
The Singer continues where he left us with the album Stay Under the Stars from 2006 by representing more internationally-minded compositions with lyrics in English albeit Teitur has now chosen a path with more focus on the introspective.
The album is a strong return to form, and it's a fine contender to his best ever album as it's also his most coherent album with several fine compositions.
Highly recommended.
