JÓHANNES STEFÁN is a singer-songwriter and folk artist who brings new life to the day-to-day mundane flows with his music. In his debut single, ‘Hush My Darling’, he floats resonant frames of daily life, connecting this routine to an existential endlessness. With the chorus, they blur out the painstaking repetition of everyday and numb it with a soft swirl of melody. The melancholy as it shows up in the track is quite refreshing. It is both forming and resolving itself simultaneously. And the melodies carry this duality seamlessly along with the vocals. 

Alongside JÓHANNES STEFÁN, is backup singer, Guðrún Bjarnadóttir. The warm baritones of the former are swept up in the softer touches, tinges, and sentiments of the latter. The long melodic tails that curve along the edges and sweeten the retrospective path has that classic country formation. Acoustically, it has that 70s/80s American country music vibe that is reminiscent of Steven, Nash & Young or Cat Stevens. That blend of immersive vulnerability with naturalistic and simple details is timeless and so pleasing. Employing the wisdom of the classics, he keeps it mellow but real. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
