Single Review: Hafdis Huld – Stop (Red Grape Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 November 2008
Iceland’s economy may not be at its healthiest, but one thing that is thriving on that rocky outpost in the Atlantic is a creativity for music that seems resistant to any economic woes. Hafdis Huld is a blonde beauty with piercing eyes and a controlled bob, but it’s her voice that matters on this Sam Brown cover, and it is a sweet pleasure. It may lack the unique quirky tones of Bjork that may be expected, but underlying is a subtle inflection that holds interest. That track too is pleasant enough, aiming for a more credible, Fiona Apple-influenced female folk route than the large-lunged original. Hopefully, it’ll give some of her countrymen reason to smile.
