Tina Dico - Whispers (2014)

Released on Finest Gramophone on August 25th, Tina Dico's new album Whispers had a very different inception to Dico's previous recorded works. Her themes are universal. Love, loss and its repercussions, apology and repentance. Someone You Love, the first song to be showcased from the album is a song about the latter – "At times I've held back, I've see now what it means to give yourself unconditionally – to someone you love." Dico's current home in Iceland with its stunning and unique landscapes provides further inspiration. Of Drifting, a forthcoming single, she says - "I live by the ocean now, it's the first thing I see in the morning. The grandeur of nature here gives me a piece of mind that fells like the a whole new source for songwriting." The title track is co-written with Dico's husband and musical partner Helgi Jonsson. "It's a dark song about feeling numb, having lost touch with all ideas of beauty and profound love in life. There's so little room for subtlety and frailty in our lives today. Everyone is screaming….whatever happened to whispering?" The recipient of many accolades and with several chart topping albums to her name in her native Denmark, Dico has always dug deep emotionally often responding to wherever she's called home - be it Denmark, London or Iceland – but on Whispers it's clear she has found a new voice.
