"Almost Over You"
The song is about finding a way out of the darkness after a long night. It’s a song of hope and a potential for a brighter future.
The video was recorded in Qeshm, a small island off the coast of Iran at the same time as the country’s women were protesting for their rights all over the country. It was directed by local artist Ali Asgari.
"Big Boy Boots"
The song is based on the loss of his mother at a young age. It’s an imagined letter from a parent to a child telling them they have to leave this world.
The video was recorded in the south of Iceland and shows a young boy working through loss and ultimately deciding to move on with his life. It was directed by local artist Erlendur Einarsson.
