Thorsteinn Einarsson is a chart-topper and a permanent fixture on the local music scene. With his new single "SOS", the Austro-Icelandic artist enters the finale of an extraordinarily productive year. His next album "Teardrops & Confetti Guns" will be released in March 2025.

Three top 10 albums released in Austria, an Austrian Amadeus Music Award, over 20 million streams and concerts at home and abroad are already to the credit of 28-year-old singer-songwriter Thorsteinn Einarsson.

The first half of the year was eventful: he released two new songs and made it into the top 10 of the radio charts with "Hotel Heartache". He was also a weekly jury member on Austria's biggest talent show and wowed 80,000 spectators at Vienna's Donauinselfest.

New single, new album, next tour

"We can save our souls! That means that while it's okay to ask for help when you need it, sometimes we just have to save ourselves and take control of our lives. Every single one of us is stronger than we think," he says in the "Krone" talk about the lyrics of "SOS". The single is available to download now.

And there's more to come next year: "A new album, a completely new show, new songs - simply everything new!" he reveals to the Krone. Thorsteinn Einarsson's album "Teardrops & Confetti Guns" will be released in March 2025, and the 2025 tour has already been confirmed. On March 27, 2025, he will play in his adopted hometown of Gmunden.
