The song you send to your boyfriend when you want to pick a fight — “Is She Pretty?” is a guitar-driven alt-pop single in which the almost childishly simple question gradually gives way to the much more painful one underneath it: is she still here?
“Is She Pretty?” is part of Elín Hall’s upcoming first English-language album, written and produced with Grammy-winning producer Martin Terefe at Eastcote Studios in London. Released on October 2nd, 2026, the track has already received good press and radio support in Iceland, the UK and beyond, most notably being featured in the Record Of The Day on October 21st.
“ ‘Is She Pretty?’ feels like a sound that would resonate well on social media, have potential for Radio 1 and 6 Music spins, as well as for film and TV sync.”
“Driven by a melancholic guitar melody, soft percussion and a bittersweet air, it’s an intimate affair, with Elín’s conversational vocal making it seem like a shared experience.”

First performed at Iceland Airwaves 2024, the song has remained a fan-requested staple of Elín Hall’s live set for almost two years. Hall enters the release with nearly 4M lifetime Spotify streams, ★★★★ from Rolling Stone Germany and shows with Laufey and YUNGBLUD.
Hall’s audience has also grown significantly over the past year, while recent international momentum includes performances at ESNS, The Reeperbahn Festival and NXNE, Alternative Press editor Kelsey Barnes naming “As The World Falls Down” among her “5 Best Songs of 2025” and support from 70+ independent UK radio stations for Jamie Woon co-write “Tachylite.”
