ELIN BRIMHEIM HEINESEN is a Faroese singer-songwriter who has been active on the Faroese music scene since the mid-70's.
Elin is perhaps best known as one half of the duo NALJA, which in the late 80's released a cassette tape with very popular songs like "Á, Tann deiliga Havn", "Sjeikurin" and "Eitt dýpi av dýrari tíð".
Although Elin has been active in music for a long time, she has only released three albums:
- he NALJA album together with Kári Linderoth Jacobsen in 1988, in which they wrote five songs each.
- The album "Yndisløg – Ein ferð aftur í farnar tíðir" (Treasured songs – a trip down memory lane) along with the acoustic band Ad Libitum, released in 2010, with different well-known evergreens.
- The solo album "Handan stjørnurnar" with song written and composed by herself.
Elin has been dreaming of publishing an album only with her own music, since NALJA was released in 1988, but has not succeeded – not until now. The album "Handan stjørnurnar" is a selection of 12 songs never published before. Elin has chosen the songs among all the many songs she has written since she started writing songs as a young teenager.
Elin says about the album, “I've made lot of music, but have only released two albums in my life: NALJA, where half of the tracks were mine, and then “Yndisløg”, which weren’t my own songs. So publishing my own album only with my own music is a dream come true.”
