Kelsey Barnes, editor at Alternative Press Magazine, has selected Elín Hall’s “As The World Falls Down” as one of the 5 best songs of the year 2025.
Released on December 4, 2025, "As The World Falls Down" marked Elín Hall's reimagining of David Bowie's beloved Labyrinth ballad. Produced by Martin Terefe, the single transformed the iconic song into a cinematic meditation on love, uncertainty and resilience, becoming another milestone in Elín's transition to writing and releasing music in English.
Released alongside the 40th anniversary celebration of Labyrinth, the single marks another step in Elín's growing international journey as she continues work on her debut English-language album.
