Elín Hall returns with new single, "Wolf Boy"

"When I wrote Wolf Boy, I wasn’t trying to set the record straight. I was more interested in the version of me that existed in someone else’s story. In a lot of my earlier songs, I’ve written from the place of feeling misunderstood or hurt. But this time, I was drawn to the idea of being seen as the villain. Not because I believed it entirely, but because that was the role I ended up in. And instead of resisting it, I leaned in," Elín Hall explains.

"There’s something compelling about stepping into the version of yourself that someone else creates, especially when it’s darker than you see yourself. It can reveal just as much as telling your side of the story, sometimes even more. I’ve come to think that the truth usually lives somewhere in between two versions of events. Wolf Boy lives in that space, in the tension between perception and reality, blame and love, myth and memory."

The track follows her Icelandic-language album heyríst í mér? which was crowned Album of the Year at the Reykjavík Grapevine Music Awards, and recent single, "Heaven To A Heathen", which marked the first time she'd released a single in English.
