		This is a danger not entirely skirted by Emiliana Torrini on her debut, Love in the Time of Science.
		Although Torrini is too willing to be self-consciously strange (though not to the cartoonish extremes of Björk), Love in the Time of Science isn’t experimental enough, the sound remaining almost continuously overexposed and grainy, a gimmick that quickly becomes tiresome.
		Emiliana’s doe-eyed vocals sometimes overcome the distracting background (“Unemployed in Summertime” is a good example).

		Emiliana Torrini emerged around 1999, at least in the US and most of Europe, heralded as a voice belonging to Bjork's coven, a comparison I always found more related to their common homeland, Iceland, than a deeply strong sisterhood of sound.
		Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini captured the audience's ears with the exquisite "Gollum's Song" in the second "Lord of the Rings" movie, then with her U.S. debut "Love in the Time of Science." Now her long-awaited fourth album, "Fisherman's Woman" has come -- and it was worth the wait.
		Torrini seems to be thinking about loss, but her songs are never really quite tragic: the opener "Nothing Brings Me Down" is a good example, with its stripped-down guitar-and-piano sound, followed by the exquisite "Sunny Road," and ending with the entrancingly dark "Serenade."

	One Little Indian • Emiliana Torrini
		Emiliana Torrini - a 23 year old romantic - is as riddled with contradictions as her homeland.
		Curiously enough, Emiliana had barely known of Tears For Fears ("I had heard, like, one song," she admits,) but, although an initial attempt at writing together didn't work, the decision to have him produce was clearly the right one.
		Emiliana's growing popularity is momentous - already 60,000 converts cherish a copy of ‘Love In The Time Of Science’.

	Emiliana Torrini - PopMatters Concert Review
		This is why I have a hard time fully embracing artists like Emiliana Torrini, who do a lot of co-writing and covering, and who record songs written, or given, to them by others.
		In this respect, Torrini, most known for her haunting contribution to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, is something of a Norah Jones to me: Both are captivating vocalists who own their performances if not, necessarily, their songs.
		Though most of Torrini's songs are slow-to-midtempo affairs, the set's middle third jacked up the mood with the healthy rolling beat of "Sunny Road" and the cheeriness of "Heartstopper", both of which got big responses.

		"There is to be no stage diving during the performance," warned Emiliana Torrini in her charmingly wonky Icelandic English during a recent London concert, "or else they'll ejaculate you out of the building." Rowdy gig goers would do well to bear that in mind during her first Australian tour.
		Torrini moved between Italy and Iceland as a girl, sang soprano in school choirs and worked in a Reykjavik caviar factory before recording an album of her own songs as a 50th birthday present for her father.
		Torrini tours in acoustic mode with a trio of musicians toting harmoniums, banjos, pedal steel guitars and the like, so you can expect her remarkably affecting voice to be front and centre.

		In fact, Emiliana's taken it all in her stride, as if she's a seasoned pro rather than a newcomer.
		That's not arrogance, but Emiliana's belief in herself and her music convictions that made her leave the band she was a member of back in Iceland.

		The delicate, folksy Emiliana Torrini you hear on Fisherman's Woman might not be one you know if you heard her previous record, 1999's Love In The Time Of Science.
		Fisherman's Woman, however, is quite different: debuting a rustic edge possibly prompted by the acclaim that met "Gollum's Song", a track that Torrini contributed to the score of Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers, these tracks harness her gentle, honey-sweet vocals to finger-picked acoustic guitar, gentle wisps of piano, and the chime of xylophone.
		When i heard Emiliana's song 'To Be Free' in the movie 'Crazy/Beautiful' i fell in love with her voice i tracked down the single and listened to it over and over again.Her second real commercially released album "Fisherman's Woman" is a calming,pleasurable piece of music to listen to her voice is so capivating.

		Emiliana Torrini's second album, FISHERMAN'S WOMAN, arrived just in time for the full flowering of the mid-2000s psych-folk revival (Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, et al), but it clearly stands apart from the pack.
		Torrini's lyrics are alternately confessional/emotional and allusive/cryptic, but the honesty of her delivery makes every song come across with an equally visceral impact.

		Torrini's beautiful vocals match the translucence of Beth Orton and Kate Bush and the undying passion of BjÃ¶rk.
		Emiliana is an incredible singer albeit slightly commercial in places.
		There are times when her vocal stylings or pronunciations sound similar to bjork and on 'telepathy' and especially 'sea people' it sounds like bjork growling in your ear, but make no mistake it's emiliana you're listening to and that's where the comparisons should end.

		Her own stuff is much less commercial, because it's not realy dancable, less catchy at first sight and not as superficial as all the songs you here in most of the radiostations and the charts...
		Emiliana seems to be a shy person who hides behind her talent and a wall of profundity.
		But as long as people still have to be informed that Emiliana exists, you are right: Every one who likes her music must support her getting known better.

		Friday night (Feb. 18th, 2005), Emiliana Torrini opened for Damon & Naomi, and Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing at Housing Works Used Book Cafe on Crosby St in NYC.
		I think Gigwise is right on to describe Emiliana's voice as "sounding distinctly like her fellow country woman Bjork’s younger sister." Overall a great show, in an interesting setting.
		It was probably for the best since now you get a very condensed version of what I originally wrote.

	EMILIANA TORRINI "Fisherman's Woman" Rough Trade
		"Fisherman's Woman" is Emiliana Torrini's first album in six years, but the Icelandic Italian British singer didn't entirely disappear in the interim.
		The latter connection might seem logical, since Torrini's debut mixed organic and synthetic sounds much as the Corporation does.
		"Without you here the seasons pass me by," Torrini sighs in "Today Has Been OK." The singer wrote most of these lyrics and collaborated on the melodies, although the disc includes covers of songs by Smog's Bill Callahan and the late English folk-rocker Sandy Denny, both of which fit the album's mood.

		Bio: Singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini composes an exquisite vocalic beauty, similar to the hums of Beth Hirsch and Kirsty Hawkshaw, making Torrini's innocence a delicate cast of luminous imagery.
		She is of Italian and Icelandic decent, but lives in England, and her cultural seascape is ever more inviting when her soft-spoken compositions are heard.
		Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson heard her cool, otherworldly croon and approved Torrini to voice the finale music for 2002's The Two Towers, and she followed up this cinematic achievement by releasing the soft-spoken but beautiful Fisherman's Woman in early 2005.

	Emiliana Torrini
		Growing up just outside Rejkavik, Torrini released her debut album ‘Love In The Time Of Science’ on fellow Icelander Bjork’s One Little Indian label.
		They soon parted ways after Emiliana wanted to completely change her musical direction, subsequently moving to Brighton, joining the cast of 'Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers' to perform the enchanting ‘Gollum Song’ and writing a number one hit for Kylie Minogue in the shape of the huge-selling 'Slow'.
		Now four years since her debut release, Emiliana has returned with the recently released ‘Fisherman’s Woman’- with a revitalised sound that has more in common with the lyric heavy folk of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake than the electronic traces of Portishead and Goldfrapp that featured on her debut.

		A friend who introduced me to the album "Love in the time of science" claimed that Emiliana Torrini was the new, hipper and more credible version of that Icelandic popstrel Bjork.
		Despite her name suggesting otherwise, Emiliana is herself Icelandic and no doubt drew on Bjork for a source of inspiration when writing this album.
		She is very big in Europe but her debut release has been virtually unnoticed in the UK - a shame in fact becuase in this reviewers opinion, she is a most fantastic talent.

	Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman's Woman : album review
		Strange then, that Emiliana Torrini is capable of both these feats, but chooses for herself, an altogether more intriguing path.
		Like fellow Arctic Circle chanteuses, Bjork and Stina Nordenstam, Icelander Torrini has the requisite 'glacial tones' and 'ice maiden' clichés to keep us music hacks happy, but, unlike them, she also possesses a warm, approachable 'coo' of a voice that takes you in and soothes, rather than the other two's tendency to swoop and spook.
		Torrini's voice is easy on the ear, voice rising like bubbles of hope through the desolate mist to reveal a singer following her muse, and not the all-too-easy allures of fashion.

	Emiliana Torrini - Sunny Road : single review
		In the unlikely event of Sunday Tabs ever giving away 'The Best Psychedelic-Folk Records Ever' CD, Emiliana Torrini's Sunny Road is a sure bet for track numero uno.
		Too ersatz to fly the freak flag higher than a Devendra Banhart, Torrini's little ditty is a kinda radio-friendly, EBTG versh of "this kind of stuff", but will still be a blessed relief from whatever this weeks fave guitar-totin' band is.
		The standard alternative mixes on this single are actually not bad, with roots-reggae type Manasseh's echo-deck adding a suitably trippy dimension to the whole shebang.
