About Heiðrik Sings The Björk Song Book
Critically acclaimed Faroese singer-songwriter Heiðrik á Heygum just released his 3rd
album – a jazz interpretation of a select songs written by Björk, recorded in the Faroe
Islands during the pandemic. It is an ensemble on vocals, piano, bass, drums, and
guitar featuring a few guest musicians. The album’s purpose is to bring Björk
Guðmundsdóttir’s fantastic jazz songwriting to light and show a new interpretation of
one of the most renowned Nordic artists.
Heiðrik says, “For many years I’ve dreamt of interpreting songs from Björk’s catalog
because as a jazz singer, I have noticed jazz inspiration in her melodies and song
structure from a young age. I saw potential in interpreting her alternative universe to
jazz and digging into the heart of those melodies. I have one of the best jazz musicians
alongside me to interpret these songs and together, we have made arrangements I’m
very proud of.”
