Sámal Hansen

The sonic world of Sámal Hansen is a fusion of his love for electronic pop music and his background in musical theatre. An exploration of the fantastical within oceanic imagery and mythology. A resistance of normative notions of masculinity and femininity. An amalgamation of all this, and more, to create a soundscape that invites you to dance and free your mind – to music evoked both by pain and empowerment.

Like The Little Mermaid inside her cave, marvelling at her collection of human trinkets, dreaming of a life on land; Sámal Hansen’s debut single 'In My Room', produced by Dan Helgi í Gong, was written at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and harks back to the time spent in isolation. Moments in solitude, in our most vulnerable and personal space, free from self-conciousness in which one can embrace one’s most authentic and biggest self. The comfort of staying distanced from the outside world, rather than showcasing one’s true potential in various contexts. His debut single, emerging out of water, from his upcoming EP 'A Flying Mermaid'.
