Faroese songwriter Eyði Horsdal releases new single “Foolish Blue”, from debut album “Songs with Eva”

Faroese songwriter Eyði Horsdal is releasing “Foolish Blue”, the fourth single from his much-anticipated debut album “Songs with Eva”, out in March 2023 on Deluxe LP and digital via Tutl Records. “Songs with Eva” is Eyði Horsdal’s debut album.

‘A brief moment in front of the leaving train reaches far, those foolish blue eyes gleam through the mirrors of the windows of the tube and through you. Foolish Blue is a deep and dark light ballad with heavy bass, an ear-catching melody and a sparkling wine glass.’
