So what, is Jonsi going to be a pop star now?

There is clearly no messing around when it comes to the Jonsi solo material. First his 'Go Do' single gets playlisted on Radio One, and now comes the jaw-droppingly beautiful video for the most commercial song Sigur Ros never recorded.



Let's be honest here, there is nothing about this song, video or man himself that is not breathtaking. We are so jealous of how brilliant he is. People may be sad about Sigur Ros 'calling it a day' but when there's the Jonsi solo album to look forward to, we won't be shedding any tears. Sigur Ros are arguably one of the greatest bands of all time, and if they are no more this is a shame, but they were basically getting by on the love of their devoted fans - and while that's nice, you can't pay the bills on love and best wishes. They didn't tour very often (no doubt on account of the shipping costs for all those tubas they'd need for a performance of 'Ara Batur' alone) so it makes sense to send Jonsi off alone and make him the boy Bjork. A plan which seems to be going swimmingly - although probably looks a lot less rosey for the other members of Sigur Ros :(

Although, we can't really see it being a hit single - not when people are so busy buying songs from Glee and the Ke$ha album with such ferocity. All that fun-stuff doesn't leave much time for a little man from Iceland larking around with doves on a beach.

But nonetheless Jonsi = amazing x a million.
