Polly – the moniker of Copenhagen-based singer-songwriter Amalie Hannibal Petri – arrives with her sophomore album Ice Skater.
11 lush tracks, released via Konkylie, tracing heartbreak, balance, and emotional control, unfolding like a figure-skating routine on fragile ground: tension and anger give way to escape, longing, and gradual recalibration.
That release peaks on the uplifting ballad Haircut, where a choir of Polly’s friends sings, “girl, you know I’m rooting for you/you’re simply the best…”
Hate You Forever hides fury beneath its Disney-esque sweetness; Eyes On The Road leans into motion; Someone Else captures post-breakup ache; and Keep Busy reframes distraction as survival. Midway, All The Time and Twirl mark a turn, leading to confidence on Rockstar, healing on Haircut, and release on What If and Beautiful.
Ice Skater thrives on contrast, delicate yet playful, sincere yet self-aware. It carries its drama with a knowing wink, moving freely through references while staying grounded in the present.
Following her debut Invitation, Polly steps forward with Ice Skater as a confident, cohesive statement—finding balance through motion, not stillness.
