Vocal Coach REACTS - Eivør "Falling Free" (LIVE)

[@indiefjant]

The ”primal” lyric-less section of this song is sung in a style that is very familiar in Scandinavian cultures, including The Faroe Islands. It’s called kulning. Although this song is not a straight up traditional kulning, it’s an incredible example of it and how it can be creatively incorporated into a different piece of music.

[@davek7702]

If you ever get the chance to see her live, take it. She is a force of nature. A generational singer.

[@lunaretic3]

Her and Florence Welch always make me have nervous bathroom feelings in my stomach when I hear them live.

[@skiptindle5976]

I would love to see Eivor and Aurora do a couple of songs together. That would be pure bliss!

[@joskogeler6421]

I have been thinking the same, but they are maybe a bit to different?

[@skiptindle5976]

@@joskogeler6421 Different is why it would be so grand sounding

[@ayreon128]

Actually, it already happened! :))) During those lockdowns they both did it together online "live from home" - Aurora's famous "Runaway". I saw it, but it just so hard to find this video. Of course, this was just a small experiment from them.

[@DarkMatterBurrito]

I want to see Eivor and Tyr do something together.

[@slange1829]

Is she the one who sings the soundtrack for 'the last kingdom'? Beautiful

[@mikeynma]

She sure is!

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

you can see her in season 5 episode 1

[@stever7732]

Yes, she is classically trained. She is from the Faroe Islands but studied opera in Iceland. She can do, and has done anything from folk, jazz, art pop, rock through to classical.

[@dansegelov305]

Every time I see this video I cant get over how far she backs off from the mic for that last whistle note. The sheer power of a trained soprano in those high registers is alarming up close!

[@shaunpierce4174]

I'm amazed it has taken you this long to see this. Eivor is incredible.

Fantastic singer and songwriter.

[@niklavsmelnbardis403]

she's all time one of the best in my musical list, spectacular artist*

[@danialbrentsen8718]

I'm from the Faroe Islands myself. And she is deffinately one of the most talentet (if not THE most talented) artists up there. BUT, also her band are made up of the very best musicans up there

[@mijamika]

I saw her live last year here in finland, amazing experience. She deserves all the success she has had.

[@patriciamayhew6321]

Eivor is such a wonderful talented singer! I prefer her live and in her native language of Faroese which is the closest living language to the Old Norse spoken by the Viking Norsemen. She sings the theme and OST music for the tv series “The Last Kingdom.” She also learned throat singing from an Inuit woman and is amazing at it!

[@sayakaorsolic2147]

I am kind of obsessed by her voice! And sooo much emotion! I just can't stop listening to her! Just out of this world! And whatever she sings, it sounds so amazing. ❤

[@Czeriah]

I can't believe you never checked out Eivor before ! you should definitely go chek out the rest of her music !!

[@georgelynch6139]

Classically trained soprano with a Masters Degree in Traditional Nordic singing

[@WardDorrity]

She is a Nordic spirit who walks the earth. She has no equal and she literally takes my breath away.

[@PK--ITA]

Thx Ken, she's soo good, wormly & enchanting in singing... Continue man!! btw. Have you never heard of or seen Eivor? You have to make up this time... I recommend "Trodlabundin" live'13. You'll find it on YT later 🤣🤣

[@ringmoen1]

Great reaction 👍Have you heard Trodlabundin with Eivør?

[@KenLavigne]

no i haven't but I will check it out. Thanks!

[@Luana6350]

Really talented 🎶🎤

[@hansmolders1066]

When a woman, or a man for that matter does the' primal thing' you oughta believe they effing mean it! German here, we listen up when this happens. Signal of serious intent, ask the Romans on the other end of the stick of it! When you hear that, seek shelter or stand your ground and you better be a warrior! Walkyries don't mess around...

[@livus3787]

at that more primal style when at the end of the phrases she flios her voice up they put the echo and it repeats that high bit, sounds like a bird in flight in a stooorm aaaah lovet loveher

[@tommayo3212]

Beautiful stuff.

[@professoryaffle]

I saw her sing with Heilung at Hammersmith in London in January. She was their support artist. I think it’s time you did Anoana by Heilung. The official video. It’s very emotional.

[@georgelynch6139]

She performs with the elite Danish National Symphony Orchestra quite often, she resides in Copenhagen.

[@eTraxx]

Suggestion: Eivör Pálsdóttir singing Heyr himna smiður - the oldest hymn that exists in Icelandic and in fact the oldest hymn in the Nordic countries. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4m4k4ajl9iSosk

More Eivor "True Love" please{ (performed live (@ Sofar Lounge) Thanks Ken L.

[@gageorion7646]

This will sound random, but you have some incredibly emotive eyes. Like I can see your whole soul and its beautiful Have a blessed day

[@tarabradford1848]

If you enjoyed this song by Eivør and love her vocal techniques then you should check out her singing in more of a folk style (which is her specialty). I would suggest watching the following video titled: Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin) - 10.08.13

[@hansmolders1066]

The high C might shatter glass but the open throat can break the walls around our hearts!

[@paulhood5950]

Not one word about her gorgeous guitar work?

[@georgelynch6139]

Her guitar work is definitely overlooked, she has studied electronics and applies her knowledge craftily, her pedal board is quite a exquisite piece of work.

[@diceau]

Those Vikings went far and wide and you can see it.

[@sheepy093]

Check out Coheed and Cambria, “The light and the glass” live from the Starland ballroom

[@akyhne]

Another singing performances of her, that demonstrates her potential, is this, called "Wake Me Up" (RTT version). kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eQcql6erB9pMU You should also take a listen to her interpretation of "Hounds of Love", the music video version, not one of the live ones. But take a listen to the Kate Bush version first. I think you'll agree, that Eivør does a better version. Another song people will recommend, is "Í Tokuni", but it has already so many reactions on KZbin.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

wake me up is a pure banger. and i love her version of gloomy sunday

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

and you should also check out her concert she did with einar selvik and the danish symphonic orchestra, called the symphonic viking voyage. and since i'm here AGAIN i have to request for the thousands time susanne sundfor, when the lord. do you hear me, KEN? sincerely yours, BARBIE (a good movie, by the way)

[@livus3787]

this performance is like a whole epos

[@emmasam45]

Love to see you review Kimbra singing Save Me in her live performance with the piano and string backing.

[@springer22ddss]

You should react to ironmouse opera singing. She was a trained opera singer then caught a rare disease cvid. She can't leave her house and was bed ridden for years and nearly lost her voice. She's on round the clock oxygen and medicines but now she's a vtuber and sings and it's amazing

[@stefanievandijk7226]

try trodlabundin by eivor its magical

[@jaegermeister1968]

The very high vocal passages remind me of the young Kate Bush.

[@poolhallshark]

Great reaction 🙂 This is one of my all time favorite performances by any singer or band, and Eivør's catalogue is just beautiful. She holds 3rd place on my favorite female singers list, after Angelina Jordan and Aurora. Make sure to check out her song "Tròdlabundin" next, filmed in a VERY beautiful location here in Norway : kzbin.info/www/bejne/raTPXn5-fMpngc0 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

i think that aurora is a bit overrated. she is good for sure and very unique, but i think that eivor outshines her in every aspect. plus: i think that susanne sundfor should also get more attention. anyway, all of them are brilliant

[@TheFinePlayer]

Yes, your videos seem to often stutter a lot. You computer clearly can't handle recording at the same time as watching a video. You can try lowering the YT video's quality when you watch it. It will be easier for your computer to process then. You can also lower the recording settings for the overall quality and resolution. So perhaps you should record in 720p instead of 1080p. Would help a lot. It's always better to have lower settings and a smooth video than higher settings and a stuttering video. Stutter is very hard to watch. Hope it helps. You can always turn to google for more detailed help.
