Firstly I told you about snippet of new Brandur's single "The Illusion Of" coming back as electropop-hero having actually nothing with that good guy singing blues we heard on his latest works, then we've finally got full single that completely hasn't disappointed us (how could fresh A-Ha inspired pop-stuff disappoint when high quality professionals like Maria Marcus are involved?), now video for new single is out and we're back with news about it again!
Well, I really like idea of words running over Brandur's face, old book effect and black and white swans (though black one looks like raven? I'm really bad in ornithology, sorry!) fighting for a piece of topless Brandur, there's too much of symbolism to understand it from the first sight so I'll check it one more time and you can also right below.

Few weeks ago I told you about surprising comeback of Brandur with brand new image and brand new music style of forthcoming single "The Illusion Of". Finally new single has arrived in full length and it's as brilliant as it sounded in sample.
Song starts from piano intro suddenly exploding with massive A-Ha breathing electro-synths, epic-sounding verses with getting more and more massive and powerful choruses again growing and growing with every string to vocally falcetto height and completely ecstatic power, vocally you could expect this sort of track from NEO but it's completely different story - amazing, exciting and promising!
Thanx fot the tips to Being Blogged.

Remember that shy charming guy Brandur singing blues-ballad "Lulluby" at Melodifestivalen-2008? He's back in completely new image and with completely new music.
Brandur's career has started back in the end of 90ies in teen age. Being talented promising musician he's become popular in the Faroe Islands and in Iceland after release of his debut album "Waiting in the Moonlight". By the way you can check interesting duet performance with Icelandic Yohanna when they were kids talents then.
Later in 2008 he performed at Melodifestivalen with his "Lulluby" and though he hasn't qualified he's got popularity in Sweden as well, being in demand on different festivals and releasing new album "Sometimes Truth Needs A Lie" in the beginning of 2010. Swedish audience could also see him in tour with Sanna, Shirley, Sonja and Måns during this Christmas.
But what an unexpected turn we've got when Brandur presented sample of his new single "The Illusion Of" - stunning electro-pop track in A-Ha meets Neo style with perfect falcetto and stylish dance-production. Due to cover he's gonna be back in completely different image as well - seems like like good guy style is in the past and it's gonna be truly exciting transformation!
