ELIN BRIMHEIM HEINESEN is a Faroese singer-songwriter who has been part of the music scene in the Faroe Islands since the mid-70's. Elin is perhaps best known as one half of the duo NALJA, which in the late 80's released a cassette tape with very popular songs, like "Á, Tann deiliga Havn", "Sjeikurin" and "Eitt dýpi av dýrari tíð". Although Elin has been active in music for a long time, she has only released three albums: NALJA together with Kári Linderoth Jacobsen in 1988, in which they wrote five tracks each and then the album "Yndisløg – Ein ferð aftur í farnar tíðir" (Treasured songs – a trip down memory lane) along with the acoustic band Ad Libitum, released in 2010, with different well-known evergreens. Elin has dreamt of publishing an album only with her own music, since NALJA was released in 1988, but did not succeed – not until 2018. The album "Handan stjørnurnar" is a selection of 12 songs never published before. Elin has chosen the songs among all the many songs she has written since she started writing songs as a young teenager. Elin said about the album when it was released in 2018, “I've made lot of music, but until now I have only released two albums in my life: NALJA, where half of the tracks were mine, and then “Yndisløg”, which weren’t my own songs. So publishing my own album only with my own music is a dream come true.” Elin will be releasing a new album in 2023.
