yfir skýinby lúpína

Nína Solveig Andersen embarked on her solo journey as the artist lúpína, releasing her debut single in autumn 2022. Since then, she has captivated audiences with her singles and albums ‘ringluð’, in early 2023 and ‘marglytta’ in autumn 2024. Lúpína’s music is a fusion of Icelandic lyric-focused Scandi pop, where she fearlessly explores the boundaries of pop music, blending different genres seamlessly. Her album, ringluð, has been nominated for the Kraumur awards, while her music video for "yfir skýin" has received nominations for Iceland’s Listener Awards and Reykjavík Grapevine’s Music Award, where she won the prestigious Song of the Year award. tinyurl.com
