I've been a fan of Emiliana Torrini ever since seeing her perform Sunny Road on a YouTube clip some years, but I'd never had the pleasure of seeing her live. I was delighted to hear she was going to make the journey to Australia, and felt a great sense of satisfaction when she eventually appeared on stage at the Metro Theatre in Sydney.Playing songs from all her records, including the most rece...
Iceland's Emiliana Torrini is a musical vagabond of sorts, having wandered over the years through a wide range of sonic settings. Trained in opera as a teenager, Torrini's international debut CD, 1999's Love in the Time of Science, introduced her as a trip-hop diva, with excursions into electronica and synthesizer pop, while her next release, Fisherman's Woman (2005), was all intimate and ...
Emiliana Torrini is the progeny of an Italian father and Icelandic mother, she made a few albums when she was young that only saw release in Iceland, but with her widely released Love In The Time Of Science she gained a wider audience in Europe.

I couldn't really tell you one specifc aspect that did it; I think it was everything put together.Anyhow, ...
I just found this song. It's a magnifcent cover of Jefferson Airplane's classic White Rabbit by Emiliana Torrini. It's one of the best note for note renditions of White Rabbit and Torrini sounds very eerily like Grace Slick.I must thank rollogrady.com for sharing this killer cover.
I found Emiliana while walking home from class a couple years ago. My solemn, cold walk home was interrupted when I noticed something shining on the sidewalk ahead. Are those cd's, I asked myself. Sure enough they were. Pedro the Lion's Achilles Heel , and Emiliana Torrini's album The Fisherman's Woman . For an indie music freak like me, finding two albums randomly on a sidewalk that I d...
