Tina Dico is a singer songwriter, who first came to my attention as a vocalist on a couple of Zero 7 tracks and then when she released her album "In the Red" in 2004.
I sort of forgot about her for a while (streaming services serve up huge amounts of content we fail to hear) but in 2018 she released "Fastland" from which this song comes and the whole album became a favourite, with regular listens. This track and "Not even close" are the ones I play the most often, but I also stream the whole album occasionally when working from home. I particularly like the “for all eternity” part of the chorus and the multipart harmonies.
She’s Danish and has actually released 11 albums, albeit that includes a sort of “best of’ and a live album with the Danish Radio Chamber Orchestra. Like most recording artists (except maybe Taylor Swift!) last year proved to be a year of spending time with family at home (which is in Iceland) but in June she started writing again and in October announced on Facebook that she had formed a band with her husband, two Icelandic singer songwriters and the Czech singer Marketa Irglova (who wrote and recorded with Glen Hansard the music for the film “Once”). This was specifically for a virtual festival but who knows what might come in the future?
