Marius Ziska Shares New Single "WHERE DID I GO WRONG", Announces New Album Out January 29

Faroese songwriter Marius Ziska is sharing today "Where Did I Go Wrong" - his first English-language single since his breakthrough album Home / Heim (2015), and the first step towards a new album set for release on January 29, 2027 via Mayday Music.

For Ziska, "Where Did I Go Wrong" began with a phrase that wouldn't leave, sung over a chord shape that wouldn't either. The song is the territory mapped out from there: an English-language step taken after a decade of writing largely in Faroese, opened up by two collaborators who helped finish what the melody started.

"When I stumbled upon this melody, the line 'where did I go wrong' came out of nowhere, and I immediately felt it was something very special and honest for me", says Ziska. "For a long time I was mostly mumbling random words in English and singing that one line. With that starting point I invited Nick Tsang and Stewart Brock to write the lyrics, and they found a path that really felt right and genuine."

The track was recorded and produced by Ziska with Kristoffer Mørkøre, with contributions from his long-standing band - Heðin Ziska Davidsen, Magnus Johannesen and Jan Rúni Poulsen. Mixed by Mørkøre, mastered by Heini Ragnarsson. Lyrics co-written by Nick Tsang and Stewart Brock.

ABOUT MARIUS ZISKA

Marius Ziska is one of the most loved songwriters working out of the Faroe Islands. Over the past decade his gift for melancholic, melodically generous writing — paired with a voice that carries weight without effort and a band that brings real dynamic intensity around it — has built a deep and committed audience at home and abroad.

He has played showcase festivals including The Great Escape, Iceland Airwaves, By:Larm and SPOT Festival; toured Germany, Denmark and Norway extensively with the band; and supported Eivør across Europe. In 2023 he performed three sold-out shows with the Faroese Symphony Orchestra. He has won several Faroese Music Awards, and his music has been licensed for documentaries and commercials in Denmark, Iceland and the United States.

Home / Heim, his 2015 breakthrough, established him as one of the defining voices of the contemporary Faroese songbook. "Where Did I Go Wrong" marks his first move into writing in English — and the opening of a new chapter scheduled to land in January 2027.
