Innovative Faroese American songstress Marianna Winter released her new single, ‘Consequences’, on the 28th of April via Tutl Records. The single follows her recently released record ‘Cruising’, which landed on Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The track is also on heavy rotation on Faroe Islands’ national radio station KVF. In the press, her music has gained the support of UK online tastemaker magazines The Line Of Best Fit and Gigwise as well as All Music Magazine and Bands of Tomorrow.
She performed her debut festival show in her homeland at G! Festival. Then she took to the stage at UHØRT Festival in Denmark. Now, she is scheduled to perform in the UK later this year at The Great Escape. Her music has been featured on various Spotify playlists, namely Now Hear This in the UK and De Nye in Denmark.
Soul-pop singer Marianna Winter is one of the few female artists currently pioneering the lo-fi underground scene in the Faroe Islands with her gritty yet catchy pop melodies. Born and partly raised between California and Tórshavn, she challenges her homeland’s musical and cultural status quo, adding an LA heat to the quintessential Nordic sound, thus offering a unique perspective into both cultures. Drawing inspiration from Lennon Stella, Daniel Caeser, Joesef, UMI, and Mahalia, her sound can be likened to SZA, Kehlani, and Alina Baraz.
Marianna Winter’s record shimmers with the charisma of her darker aesthetic taste. The track leans into a heavily groove-laden bassline, which swaggers in the pocket, showing off its prowess. Winter takes the spotlight, though, singing with confident ease, letting listeners know that she is the main act.
