About the songs

Ragnar Olafsson, Sólveig Ásgeirsdóttir "Urðarþráður"

"Urðarþráður" is an evoking song that is beautiful. The instrumentation is somewhat traditional with the extensive use of strings and piano, and some synths towards the climax. The singer Sólveig Ásgeirsdóttir has a soft and tender voice which illustrates the tone of the song well. I love the melody throughout and the climax at the end is epic. The RV uses ZAAR's "Invisible" music video.

The song is included in the Icelandic TV series 'Fractures'. On Bandcamp, Ragnar Olafsson writes: "Urðarþráður means "the thread of Urður"
The name refers to one of the three primary norns (witches) in Norse mythology, responsible for shaping the course of human destines. Uður is believed to sit at the foot of Yggrasil, the tree of the world, spinning the thread of fate."

JessB "Can't Fake It"

"Can't Fake It" changes up the somber mood from the previous entry. This is a lightweight entry which is fun and entertaining. JessB raps through the song with a lot of confidence, and the quirky instrumentation has captured my attention. It is quite a catchy tune to be honest!

According to JessB, "Can't Fake It" is a straightforward song with no deep literal meaning. She describes the song as "a lighthearted club banger for ya head top". She claims that the song was made in about half an hour.

Saucy Santana ft. Latto "Booty"

"Booty" is a fun and catchy song. It is meant to be light-hearted and the instrumental sampling of "Crazy in Love" gives this song a boost in the leadup to the drop. The music video is supposed to use 360 surround sound but for ordinary headphone users the sound quality may be degraded, so there is a video with only the audio that has a similar quality to that on streaming services.

The choreography in the video is made by Sean Bankhead, which is to celebrate all booties.
