Please Don't Hate Me (2006) CD

Lay Low's 1st album, released in 2006 and hit the charts in Iceland as soon as it came out. This special cd was recorded in her small one room apartment in Reykjavík and at her friends places, trying to find her sound while trying to figure out what she wanted to say. This is the outcome of mixed emotions of a young girl with old feelings and mixed musical genres of a new voice trying to find it's place.


Reviews:

The inimitable husky tones of Icelands Lay Low to hit the headlines will penetrate your heart as fast your ears. Combining kooky northern charm with smoky bar-room blues, Lay Low has taken the Icelandic music scene by storm and is all set to blow a few minds across the sea as well. Described variously as a “female Johnny Cash”, a country-blues balladeer and a breath of fresh air, Lay Low is in fact the 24-year-old Lovisa Elisabet. Her debut album “Please Don´t Hate Me” has been topping the Icelandic charts since its release in October 2006, delighting the countrys critics and music lovers alike. Nominated for four of the 2006 Icelandic Music Awards, Lay Low received more nominations than any other musician, which is pretty cool and she eventually went home with 3 prices.
