2026 release. On his fifth studio album, Julia, Icelandic singer-songwriter Asgeir enters intriguing and uncharted territory. After years of engaging translators such as John Grant and working with the poetry of his father, Einar Georg Einarsson, Asgeir has penned his lyrics by himself for the first time in his long and celebrated career. The result is a deeply contemplative body of work, steeped in nostalgia, that sees Asgeir meditating on his past regrets as well as his hopes for the future, guided by the spectre of the album's title character.
