Eivind Jul - Lille Du

Review by Johan Buitendag

Eivind Jul's album Lille Du is a beautiful collection of acoustic folk songs that showcase his songwriting and vocal abilities. The album has a very intimate and personal feel, with Jul's lyrics touching on themes of love, loss, and self-reflection.

The instrumentation on the album is minimal, with Jul's guitar and vocals being the main focus. However, there are some lovely arrangements that add depth and texture to the songs, such as the haunting cello on "Søvngjenger" and the delicate piano on "Hjem".

Jul's vocals are gentle and emotive, with a rawness that adds to the album's overall authenticity. His lyrics are poetic and introspective, with lines like "I'm not sure who I am / But I know who I want to be" on "Hjem" showcasing his ability to express complex emotions in a simple yet effective way.

Summary by Johan Buitendag

Lille Du is a beautiful and heartfelt album that showcases Eivind Jul's talents as a songwriter and musician. It's a perfect album to listen to on a quiet evening, allowing the listener to be completely immersed in the music and the emotions it evokes.
