Groenland is an orchestral indie pop band from Montreal, Canada.

Winner of 2013 GAMIQ awards for “Pop Album of the Year” and “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” after their first release The Chase in 2013.

Members are Sabrina Halde (vocals, ukulele, keyboards & percussions), Jean-Vivier Lévesque (keyboards, electros & percussions), Jonathan Charette (drum), Simon Gosselin (bass), Gabrielle Girard-Charest (cello) and Ariane Gruet-Pelchat (violin).

So. . .  those listeners who are sure it was Adele they were hearing, are an ocean apart.

I agree -- I heard this track and thought, I really like Adele's voice, looked at the web page for more information and found .. Groenland?

So it's either a side project for her, or the singer really sounds like Adele. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I like how they don't end on the chorus. Your mind expects it but the song doesn't go there. Complements the lyrics and tone.

That cover doesn't look like Greenland at all. It's way too... green. Maybe El Trumpo saw it and thought it was a sales brochure, lol.

That's an intriguing cover. The band name, which I believe is the Danish original of 'Greenland', reminds me elliptically of Peter Høeg's wonderful and idiosyncratic book "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow", much of the action in which is set in and around Greenland. Strongly recommended. 9 for the book from the Nottingham Book Club, and a good 7 for this nice song.

 

 
I think the Danish spell it Grønland.  This band is apparently from Montreal however.

Saw the movie, with the lovely Julia Ormond, which affected me for weeks.  Like the song, too.

The girl in the lyrics was so unhealthy as to be completely dependent and suicidal or at least to throw those words around lightly are not to my liking - cheap drama. The singing and music were better than that ... Deserved more.

Every time I hear this song it gets my attention. Love her voice. at first I thought it was Lianne Lahavas (sp?) who is also great.I want to hear more of Lianne but she isn't getting a lot of play here.Love it.

Count me as one who thought this was Adele, thought she had put out a new album and it was on RP before anywhere else, just like Rolling in the Deep was....although with her popularity now that would be impossible, but just was my first thought....

Watch this video...it might change your mind on the "Adele" comparison...the vocals are performed by Sabrina Halde. Nice live brass and orchestration. Plus, unlike the "manufactured" vocalists of late, Sabrina actually plays instruments.

Go to ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8vbxfqpiWY ) to view.

In first instance I thought it was Caro Emerald, our dutch talented singer.
Because it is a dutch written name, Groenland, I was surprised they are from Montreal, Canada

How many Adele imitators can we make room for? At some point you have to say, find your own thang. Be original,. Adele sound alikes are BORING, no matter how good the music and lyrics may be!

C'mon, Sabrina Halde! Get a life and stop being a cheap Adele ripoff!
