Eivør Pálsdóttir, known mononymously as Eivør, is a Faroese singer-songwriter, composer, and a notable name in the world music scene. Born on July 21, 1983, in Syðrugøta, Faroe Islands, her music is an artful blend of Faroese traditional music with elements of rock, jazz, folk, pop, and European classical music. Her distinctive voice and dynamic performance style have garnered international acclaim, resonating deeply with audiences far beyond her native shores.

Since her debut in 2000, Eivør's career has seen a constant evolution with a prolific output of albums and performances. Her more recent releases, including the album "Segl" and its accompanying live concert recording "Segl Live in Concert," showcase her enchanting vocals and continued exploration of both personal and mythological themes. Eivør's involvement in the soundtrack of the television series "The Last Kingdom" demonstrates her versatility and the cinematic quality of her music, with tracks like "Destiny Is All," "The Beloveds," and "Blood Will Prevail" adding to the epic narrative of the show. Her transformative covers, such as "Hounds of Love," and the acoustic rendition of "Remember Me" highlight her ability to reinterpret existing music with a unique and powerful sound that is unmistakably Eivør.
