Fabúla (Margrét Kristín Sigurðardóttir) blends music, theater, and visual arts into a unique storytelling experience. The Icelandic artist’s journey spans classical training in Reykjavík, Trondheim, and London, where she developed her multifaceted approach. Since her 1996 debut “Cut My Strings,” she’s earned multiple Icelandic Music Award nominations and released acclaimed albums including “Dusk” (2006) and “In Your Skin” (2009). Whether performing solo at the piano, with a violinist, or backed by her full band, Fabúla creates theatrical experiences that defy genre boundaries, mixing jazz, folk, and contemporary pop. Her signature sound – delicate, warm, and deep – mirrors her artistic vision: playful yet tinged with melancholy.
Fabúla’s latest single, “With His Eyes Closed,” is a deliciously dark blend of blues and mystery that feels like it was plucked straight from a noir film soundtrack. The song drips with sass and intrigue, creating an atmosphere that would feel right at home in a smoke-filled, vintage detective thriller.
