Icelandic singer Kahnin is up with his new masterpiece ‘Stardust’!

Gudmundur Jens Gudmundsson a.k.a Kahnin always proves that you don’t need an extravagant set or special effects in order to create a music video. You just need your instruments, a sober backdrop, a camera, and your soul. And Kahnin’s new single Stardust is the epitome of simplicity. The video was filmed in the oldest church on the southwest corner of Iceland, in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown. Let us just stand up and bow for his efforts, taking the risks, keeping his safety aside. It’s his tribute to David and Angie Bowie’s glam rock years.

Stardust gives you the flavor of retro music, and one can’t help but tap their feet to the rhythm (or maybe also dance to it). You will just feel to groove your body and move your hips, dancing freely like a child. Or sit alone quietly and thinking about your beloved. The song is a whole mood. The lyrics tell you about the story of a man waiting for a woman he loves, contemplating their future together. The man questions himself whether the woman will agree to marry him after all he did to get her attention. Meanwhile, when he is giving you a romantic hope, all of a sudden he throws the most millennial thing ever, a harsh truth right at your face.

“We’re all Stardust wannabees

We just want to feel the breeze.”

Stardust is a song about your crush standing far away from you, seeing her playing the Tambourine. This song takes you away to another dimension like the Aladdin’s carpet.

“She’s banging on her tambourine

Will she ever marry me”
