66 Degrees of Sound

This week we are back with an artist spotlight on singer-songwriter GDRN and her quick but huge rise to success in Icelandic music. This episode is hosted solely by Jóhannes and will be our only release this week, as Rex is out sick. (If you're wondering where last week's Hot Happenings and Saturday Morning Mix episodes went, that's also what happened.)
Guðrún Ýr Eyfjörð, better known as GDRN, is one of Iceland’s most celebrated pop stars in recent years after her 2018 debut album Hvað Ef? surged to top the local charts. Her artistry also took her to branching out of music, playing the lead role in the Netflix series Katla, created by Baltasar Kormákur and Sigurjón Kjartansson. Mixing elements of blue-eyed soul, r'n'b, and tight pop music, GDRN’s songs are bound to keep playing in your head, over and over and over again. Her latest album Frá Mér Til Þín came out March 22, 2024.
