Icelandic singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini released her breakthrough album 'Fisherman's Woman' in 2005. Before this album she was more known for her dance genre collaborations and solo material... so this album was a complete change of pace. 'Fisherman's Woman' is Icelandic in so many ways... from the title, the breathy and sparseness of it, to the creaking sounds underneath. The vocals are practically whispered and the acoustic soundtrack doesn't try to make up for it. The result is a beautiful set of songs that fit together nicely and it is better as a complete album than individual songs on an album. It is hard to pick a favourite song from an album like this but "Thinking Out Loud" has so much charm in it's chorus line... "Sorry it was me... Was I thinking out loud" that it brings you closer to what is going on in the mind of the protagonist.
Sorry, am I making any sense or am I just thinking out loud?
