Just 27, Evensen says she has been writing music for two decades. The album includes the first piece she ever wrote, at age seven, “Vetur Genginn í Garð.” That title means “Winter Has Arrived” in English. “I had all of these emotions inside of me,” says Evensen. “I remember sitting down by a piano and this just came out.”
Except that music this moving never just comes out. Only the genuinely gifted describe creative experiences in those terms. The inspiration may be spontaneous, but the translation of those feelings into a piece of relatable art should not be taken for granted. It is genuinely difficult to imagine the seven-year-old Evensen reaching up for the piano keys and finding such a prodigious result. The Moderns
