publication · 2026-10-08

Brimheim, a singer from the Faroe Islands and Denmark, has unveiled a new single and music video titled 'My Collection,' which is directed by Stine Emil. Set against the backdrop of a rustic horse farm, the black-and-white visuals depict Brimheim in a barn, expressing a sense of unease. The song transitions from a whimsical ballad to lively chamber pop, featuring organ, trumpet, and Mellotron alongside her vocals. It narrates the tale of an enigmatic collector of forgotten treasures, reflecting the overlooked aspects of ourselves. The video unfolds like a chamber play, highlighting profound eye contact, beginning with a Danish introduction (with English subtitles) about sacrifice and concluding with a gentle invitation. 'My Collection' is structured in three acts—demand, revelation, seduction—revealing a fresh facet of Brimheim's artistry.
