Fabúla’s new track explores the tension between routine and adventure with captivating melodies

Fabúla, an artist hailing from Iceland, delves into the depths of folk music with her latest release, “With His Eyes Closed.” This poignant track brings to life the internal conflict between the safety of routine and the yearning for adventure. Fabúla’s intricate storytelling through her music captures this universal sentiment, making it a must-listen for folk enthusiasts. Press play on the audio player below to experience this evocative release.

The song’s production is intimate, recorded in a small studio by the harbour in Hafnarfjörður, a picturesque town near Reykjavík, Iceland. Co-produced with the talented guitarist Birkir Rafn Gíslason, “With His Eyes Closed” carries an organic sound that draws listeners into the protagonist’s silent dreams and secret desires.

Fabúla’s daughter, Embla Wigum, directed the visually stunning music video accompanying this track. Shot in southern France, the video adds a layer of international flair to the project, merging Icelandic and French influences. Embla’s artistic interpretation enhances the song’s message, presenting a fresh perspective that complements the musical narrative.

“As a curator team from PopHits.Co, we are impressed by Fabúla’s ability to blend storytelling with such captivating melodies,” says our team. “Her work on ‘With His Eyes Closed’ showcases her prowess in Folk and Art Pop music and offers listeners an immersive experience.”

Fabúla’s creative journey began in Iceland, transitioning from poetry and short stories to music composition in her twenties. Her debut album, released under the name Fabúla–which means “fable” in Icelandic–reflects her knack for weaving stories into songs. Her unique blend of words and music has since captivated audiences, aligning her with renowned folk artists like Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling.

Listeners can connect with Fabúla’s enchanting soundscapes on multiple platforms. Explore more about the artist through her Website, Spotify, Facebook, and YouTube. Each platform offers a glimpse into her diverse artistic ventures and musical journey.

For those looking to dive deeper into the realm of folk music, we highly recommend giving Fabúla’s new release a listen. Like, listen and share our curated playlist to discover more hidden gems within the genre.
