«It was written and recorded in January… and it kind of sounds like a dark January here in Iceland,” Hekla says of the new single. “I grew up mostly in Barcelona, but after being so long back in Iceland now I have really come to love the Catalan language. The word Xiuxiuejar felt right for the album. It means to whisper».

Xiuxiuejar sees Hekla adding cello, her second instrument, to her recorded repertoire.
