Ásgeir & Arny Margret - Part of Me

The last time we saw Arny Margret collaborating with a fellow Icelandic musician was with Júníus Meyvant and their beautiful creation “Spring.” Likewise, the last time we heard from Icelandic singer/songwriter Ásgeir, he had featured Clou in the French version of his gorgeous “Borderland,” Dans nos rêves. This time, it is Arny Margret and Ásgeir who team up together for a Christmas-themed song, and the result is the gorgeous and simply mesmerizing “Part of Me,” an instant holiday classic!

Asked about their collab, Arny says:

“Even though Ásgeir and I work in the same studio and have the same team around us we’ve never worked together until now. I think we’re both quite introverted and shy people but for the last few months we’ve gotten to know each other a bit more. Ásgeir had a guitar riff and we tried making some melodies over it. It was a super quick process and I’m very happy with the outcome. I’ve always looked up to Ásgeir, so it was very special for me to get to work with him.”

Ásgeir adds:

“I was in the studio playing around with some chords on the guitar when Arny walked in, and we spontaneously decided to write something together. When we kind of had the melody down, we decided on what the lyrics should be about and then both of us went home and wrote something down. The next day we went back to the studio and finished both the lyrics and the song in a few hours.”

Arny summarizes it beautifully when she says:

“I think we were just doing the right thing at the right time.”
