Il y a quelque temps, Eydís Evensen a écrit un poème. Ce poème est devenu la base d’une composition chorale en deux parties, décrivant « une belle lumière qui s’est figée », avant de conclure par une lueur d’espoir durement gagné. « Ljósið fagra lifir enn ljósið fagra lifir enn », insistent des voix en écho dans la deuxième partie de cette composition, ce qui se traduit en français par « la belle lumière survit encore ». Ces mots lui rappellent, ainsi qu’au monde entier, que quelle que soit l’obscurité qui vous entoure, il arrivera un moment où la douleur commencera à se dissiper, et qu’il vaut donc toujours la peine de s’accrocher. Ces mots se retrouvent dans chaque note et chaque mélodie de son étonnant deuxième album, intitulé The Light. C’est un disque inspiré par la résilience de chacun d’entre nous, dit-elle, notre capacité à tenir bon face aux catastrophes personnelles et collectives. L’émotion est omniprésente sur The Light, un disque qui témoigne non seulement de l’évolution personnelle d’Evensen, mais aussi d’une expansion musicale. Le morceau d’ouverture, Anna’s Theme, est un flottement compétitif qui vous entraîne dans un état de rêve, oscillant tonalement entre le chagrin d’amour et l’espoir.

Some time ago, Eydís Evensen wrote a poem. This poem became the basis of a two-part choir composition, describing “a beautiful light that froze,” before concluding with a glimmer of hard-fought hope. “ljósið fagra lifir enn ljósið fagra lifir enn,” echoing voices on the second part of that composition insist – translating in English to “the beautiful light still survives.” The words were a reminder, to herself and to the world, that no matter the darkness around you, there’ll come a point when the pain will begin to thaw, so it’s always worth holding on. These words ripple through every note and melody of her astonishing second album, titled The Light. It’s a record inspired by the resilience in all of us, she says – our ability to stand firm in the face of personal and collective catastrophe. Emotion is ever-present on The Light, a record that shows not just Evensen’s personal growth but a musical expanding of wings, too. Opener Anna’s Theme is a competitive float that pulls you into a dream-like state, teetered tonally between heartache and hope.
