MáNI ORRASON JUST CAN'T HAVE IT ALL
In support of the his new album, The World Is Big And You Will Never Find Me, Icelandic emo-pop sensation Máni Orrason drops ‘Just Can’t Have It All’. It’s an emotive track that wanders from his restrained verses that are centred on a powerful vocal delivery, to thick textured choruses supported by huge strings and stadium-ready drums. On the upcoming release, he says: “So much of the album is me trying to hide in public or run away or something; the spectrum of genres and sound is so fast, somehow. It feels cohesive now, but while I was making it, it felt really insane. That was why it was tough to find a title for it, because it felt so vast.” Check out The World is Big And You Will Never Find Me when it drops on August 29th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
