Today, Faroese indie-folk singer-songwriter Benjamin Rajani releases his new single ‘Minnist’ the last song from his upcoming album “Tá hvørt ljós líkist tær”, releasing on March 28th, via Tutl records.

When sharing about the creative process, Benjamin stated: “‘Minnist’ came to life in a moment of reflection—a reminder that no matter how heavy the past feels, there’s always something brighter ahead. It’s an indie anthem built on driving drums and electric guitars, carrying that hopeful energy of moving forward."
