Susanne Sundfør - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**RussellPG** · 03-03-2012, 04:32 PM

I'm surprised you lot aren't all over this woman like a dog eating mince. Kind of Lykke Li meets Regina Spektor in maudlin mode. Searing vocals, bit of melodrama.

She's got a new album out on March 26th, The Silicone Veil. Here's the lead single:

I'm not such a big fan of her self-titled first album, which was a bit more twee and jangly (exhibit A, which is one of the stronger tracks on the debut). She subsequently did a solo piano rerecording of the whole album called Take One.

The follow-up, 2010's The Brothel, is where she caught my attention. The album was very successful in her native Norway, and has some cracking pop tunes on it, but the haunting title track is the standout:

I love her so much. Her debut wasn't anything to write home about, but The Brothel was one of my standouts in 2010. I didn't know she had new material coming out soon, thanks for the heads up!

I love her too! The Brothel was completely incredible, and I really fell in love with her then. I had no idea that she had a new album coming out, so I'm awfully excited, especially since the first single is beautiful. The ending is to die for.
