Lúpína + Support by NAARTH

Lúpína

The Icelandic artist, songwriter and producer lúpína embarked
on her solo journey by releasing her dreamy Icelandic synth
pop single ‘alein’ in autumn 2022. Since then, she has captivated audiences with her singles and albums 'ringluð', in early 2023, and 'MARGLYTTA' or “jellyfish” in the fall of 2024. Her music includes complex layers of synths, soundscapes and captivating lyrics. MARGLYTTA is an ode to herself, allowing people to see through her and her emotions - just like a jellyfish.

Lúpína's music is a fusion of Icelandic lyric-focused Scandi pop, where she explores the boundaries of pop music, blending different genres seamlessly. She brings a fresh perspective to Icelandic music, infusing it with global appeal while staying true to her roots. As she continues to evolve as an artist, her music promises to leave an indelible mark on the local and international music scene.

“The adjectives “otherworldly” and “ethereal” are definitely overused in music writing, but they’re utterly apt descriptors for Nína Solveig Andersen, aka lúpína, who marries Icelandic sounds and Scandi pop to craft music that transcends space and time. [..] The future of Icelandic music has never looked stranger or brighter.” - Paste Magazine
