Premiere: Iceland's Glowie Drops Off Mood-Lifting Pop Number "I'm Good"

A change in pace from the sounds typically associated with Iceland.

Iceland-born, but now living in London, emerging pop singer-songwriter Glowie recently released her new EP, Where I Belong, an 8-track collection that arrived after a consistent string of singles beginning back in 2016. Today we're getting the video for project closer "I'm Good"—an upbeat pop number with a big, bold hook and an infectious production behind it. Setting herself from the usual 'ethereal' sounds that often emerge from or are attributed to Iceland, Glowie's music has a thread of R&B running through it and opts for upbeat melodies rather than downtempo brooding. And matching that, the visuals follow Glowie and friends dancing and enjoying life in an idyllic park, beneath the summer sun and a clear blue sky.

"The last two years have been an emotional rollercoaster for me," she says. "It's been a time of experimenting with the music, trying different things, and also bringing back stories from my childhood into the music. Music has always been such a big part of my life; it was always something I'd reach out to when I needed comfort and encouragement, especially in my teenage years. So I wanna do the same for others with my music: I want people to feel comfort, empowerment, and love from it. The five songs on this EP are all very different but they all represent something that I've experienced before, something that I stand for and feel very passionate about. So I'm really excited to hear how these songs will make people feel, because I bet it's gonna be different for each person."
