"Butterflies and Elvis" is the debut album from Iceland's Johanna Gudrun Jonsdottir (known simply as 'Yohanna')
Yohanna, who came 2nd in this years Eurovision Song Contest with her amazing performance of the superb power ballad "Is it true?" (representing her
home country, Iceland), has been writing songs for over a decade. (A remarkable achievement for someone who was only born in 1990!)
The album, which was recorded with British songwriter Lee Horrocks and sound engineer Thomas Yezzi, was originally released in early 2008 in her home
country and was very well received by her critics. Yezzi described Yohanna as "a young, white Icelandic girl with the soul of a 50 year-old black
woman. She's really amazing."
This sums up the whole feel of the album. It's a captivating, lively, yet soulful album filled with beautiful music and lyrics (not forgetting
the beautiful voice!) It's a masterpiece of harmonious music and lyrics from someone with so much talent and such a bright future ahead of her.
And it's for this reason that it's so difficult for me to criticise any of the songs on the album in any way since each one is excellent in
its own way. My favourite tracks on the album are "Beautiful Silence", "Spaceman", "Say Goodbye", "I Miss You" and "Rainbow Girl" If you enjoyed
Yohanna's performance on ESC then you will enjoy this album.
Iceland's best kept secret has finally been revealed for the rest of the world to see. I'm sure Yohanna will go a very very long way....
