Ólöf Arnalds upcoming covers EP Ólöf Sings is due November 8 on One Little Indian Records. The five-track EP includes recorded explorations of road-tested covers from her live set and is her first recording performed entirely in English. Ólöf Sings reinterprets Arthur Russell’s “Close My Eyes”, a medley of Gene Clark's "With Tomorrow" and Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”, Neil Diamond’s “Solitary Man”, Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs To Me” and Caetano Veloso’s “Maria Bethânia”.

Ólöf Sings follows Arnalds acclaimed 2010 One Little Indian release Innundir skinni. The album, which Pitchfork described as “a rich and musically complex experience,” was one of Uncut Magazine’s Top 50 albums of 2010 and the song “Madrid” was named iTunes UK’s Song of the Year. The album also earned Ólöf a Songwriter of the Year gong at the Iceland Music Awards.

Ólöf released her U.S. debut Við Og Við in 2009. The album caught notice of international press including The New York Times, Vanity Fair, NME and SPIN. Time Out New York described her having “… the kind of voice that can silence a room, such is its sweetness,” while Rolling Stone described her songs as being “fragile as tiny china swans.” Meanwhile, Paste magazine would call Við Og Við “impossibly lovely” and voted it Number 38 in its Top 100 Albums list. eMusic named it among the 100 Best Albums of the Decade, while at home, the album accrued a host of accolades including, Best Alternative Album at the Iceland Music Awards and a Record of the Year nod from Iceland’s principal daily newspaper, Morgunblaðið.
