Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Teitur; (tie tor) is a singular name for a singular man. Hailing from the Faroe Islands Teitur is an artist whose songs remind you what music can do for the soul. Teitur first came to the attention of the world with the release of his 2003 debut album Poetry & Aeroplanes, which won him rave reviews.

In 2006, in between performing at many major European festivals, Teitur started to record his second album. Stay Under The Stars, released to great acclaim in Europe and the US and debuting in the Top 10 in Denmark, subsequently going Gold there and earning him the accolade of Best Singer at the Danish Music Awards (Grammies) in March 2007.

In mid 2007, Teitur started to pull together the songs that make up his third album: The Singer: The songs are written over a time-span of one to seven years. They are stories of events and experiences - like drinking beers on a musty hotel floor with mysterious blues musician Chris Whitley, before he died of cancer (Legendary Afterparty), or stories that I have come across in my lifetime...

In October Teitur travelled to an island off the coast of Sweden called Gotland with his sound engineer Jonas and arranger Trondur, and recorded the album on a 19th century Swedish Princess estate, normally a summer destination as a hotel, but at this time of year a beautiful, windswept and somewhat deserted piece of tranquility; interrupted only by the various musicians and singers who came to play or sing on the album, who all stayed at the hotel, during their work on the album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Struggling Mixture of Styles vs. Raw Talent - 3.5 Stars, May 22, 2008
By Neil Dewitte (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The Singer is Teitur's third album. In this album he struggles a bit to maintain the cohesive and "wistful, yet optimistic" qualities of his first two albums, both of which were very good in my estimation.

Let me start by saying that Teitur's vocal and musical talent is undeniable and it shines most brightly in his highly produced songs. Not that his songs need be highly produced - Teitur sounds great live and in his acoustic tracks. He has been aptly called a modern troubadour, a moniker that fits him well.

This album suffers from having too many sad songs mixed in with what sound to be experimental, rather than classically melodic accompaniments. His previous albums did have some of these same types of songs, but just not a preponderance of them.

Teitur has always been a master at being intimate without being overbearing or annoying. Unfortunately this album definitely is skewed towards melancholy. If the sad songs were fewer in number and about universal topics as opposed to specific, personal topics they would be a bit more appealing.

The album does have a couple of redeeming exuberant tracks that will have broader appeal. These tracks include Catherine the Waitress and my personal favorite, Start Wasting My Time. This last song is a great example of self-realization.

Overall this is an Average to Good album. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars instead of 3. Overall the album lacks cohesion and is a bit melancholy. If you are a Teitur fan I recommend picking it up.
