Teitur makes beautiful, poetic and heartfelt music that is devastatingly passionate. He possesses the unique ability to perfectly translate emotion into musical and lyrical masterpieces and has been described by KT Tunstall as "the sound of melting ice, haunted woods, and beautiful honesty," and his music by John Mayer as "jet fuel on the fire of a broken heart."
The Singer is Teitur's first album to be released in the UK and comes with an exclusive bonus track; My Only Companion. Opening track, The Singer, from which the album takes it's name has a heartfelt and poignant honesty that sets the tone for an album full of goosebump-bringing beauty. The Singer is an album that's paints vivid stories and bears an emotional range so rich it resonates with ageless humanity, all of which is complemented by the extraordinary and wonderful arrangements of marimba, piano, brass, reeds and percussion.
