    Loved your reaction: "Where has she been all of my life?". The only other song I know, and love, by Susanne Sundfør, is "When the Lord". But as you've been told, the video is heartbreaking. It's about Lenne Marie Fossen- an amazing photographer, and a very special person, who died from severe anorexia. So some of the pictures are very hard to watch for sensitive people.
    I believe Susanne Sundfør has written this song especially for the documentary about Lenne Marie. It's beautiful and easily can bring tears into your eyes.

      Nils Bjarne Saltnes I most certainly will! The public school that I went to in NJ USA offered free music and chorus also! My mom rented a cheap clarinet for me until high school. She saved her pennies to buy me a nice wooden clarinet when I reached high school. Music taught me so much it’s priceless. I am loving Norway ❤️.

    ANOTHER GIFT FROM SCANDANAVIA. AND A SIN THAT SHE IS PRETTY MUCH UNKNOWN beyond the boundaries of Europe. Can sing rings around 99% of the vocalists that people rave about.

      We are spoiled here in Norway, and the nordic countries as a whole, really. Alot of great swedish artists too. It is difficult to win over a norwegian/nordic audience, low numbers of populations, means In order to make it as an artist, to make a living of it, you need to reach the heart of a larger percentage of the population than in more populated areas/countries. So the quality of the music, the lyrics and the voice(s), and even the way they convey their music to the listeners, must be something truly special, and reach the heart of a multigenerational and multi-demographic audience and listeners. I think that is also why they get better and better recognition from international audience as well, from all age groups, now that it is much easier to spread/share great music talents with the whole world through social media :)

    I have recommended songs by Susanne Sundfør before, but I'll repeat myself, because I think she's great. I had the pleasure of watching her live at the start of my studies back in 2007, which coincidentally was also at the beginning of her career. In all the excitement of a new environment, new people, and new teachers, her voice held me fast, and wouldn't let go until she stopped singing. She writes her own lyrics, and they are quite deep. I especially love these songs, which range from synth-pop to folk and alternative: "The brothel", " White Foxes", "Fade away", " When the lord" (documentary soundtrack), "Never ever" and "Running to the sea" (the last two in collaboration with Röyksopp).

Then the lyrics come into play, and finally I can appreciate the whole of the artistry and ingenuity. So what I mean is that it's the soul and personality of the voice that first captures me as a listener. Hearing her live actually shook me, because her voice was so wonderful, strong and imbued with feeling. I've heard many great singers since, but she retained a place in my memory of greatest musical experiences.

      Heidi Farstad Kvalheim Angelina Jordan is an artist in her own right, mostly covering artists within different genres with her own interpretations. Still being a child she has been a professional since she was 8 years old. At this age her musical understanding, her vocals and interpretations of songs have gained her an enormous international publicity. Even Aurora has made covers of other artists songs - with her personal interpretations. And by the way: Angelina has also made original music: check out Shield and Oslo. In my opinion Aurora, Angelina and Susanne are all artists making music!

    • @jrnhelgemagnussen9579
      @jrnhelgemagnussen9579 4 роки тому +2

      @@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 I disagree. Angelina has her own songs, but her covers are often rearranged a lot, and she are a true artist on her own.
      Ex. Who has made "Bohemian rapsody" and "I put a spell on you" like her versions? That's make a true artist.
      But yes. Susanne Sundfør is one of the best norwegian artists. Along with Aurora, Angelina Jordan, Ane Brun, Madrugada/Sivert Høyem, etc.
      Korea has K-pop, but I'm thinking Norwegian pop (N-pop?) is really strong for the moment.

      Heidi Farstad Kvalheim , you will hopefully discover more about Angelina, she does write her own music as well, although, due to her young age, most of her performances are covers. But those vocals of hers are above most you can find. She’s gonna be a level superstar no Norwegian ever reached before.

    Susanne is an amazing artist. My dad introduced me to her in 2012. Been addicted since and have seen her live a few times. She is really prolific having released 6 studio albums and she composes and writes almost everything herself. Can strongly recommend almost all of her songs but three favourites, "The Brothel" (tile song form 2010 album, she once preformed it in a church in my home town magical and kinda ironic), "the silicone veil" (another title song and my first introduction to her), and "the sounds of war" is just such a statement from the first seconds of the song.

    Yes; definitely react to more Susanne Sundfør! "When the lord" has already been recommended, and that is a masterpiece, but also hard to watch. If you want to check out a more "pop-ish" song I recommend the soundtrack to the movie "Oblivion" which she does together with M83; it is a faboulous live performance; ua-cam.com/video/05GPiKPylHY/v-deo.html.

    There is a lot of great scandinavian singers/bands that do not reach the masses beyond scandinavia. I love Susanne Sundfør, and also Aurora and Angelina Jordan that you have reacted to. By the way Angelina Jordan just signed with Republic Records. So we will probably get more orginals from her:-) (musicnorway.no/news/industry-talk-michael-astar/)
    You should also listen to the danish singer Agnes Obel. (ua-cam.com/channels/23qupoDRn9YOAVzeoxjOQA.html). My favorites from her at the moment is the song 'Island of doom' and 'Camera's Rolling'.

    I found her by accident 13 years ago when I was doing music discovery by typing random phrases into a music service and briefly listening to clips.
    Turkish Delight sucked me in immediately and she rocketed to the top of my favorites immediately upon hearing the rest of _The Brothel_ album.
    Susanne Sundør and Eivør are forever wired into how I process pain and grief.
    So from the midwest United States, I wave and close my eyes to listen along with you.

      That album really is something special, I live in Oslo and went to a Christmas choral concert in the small mausoleum where the vocals for it was recorded, the acoustics in there is absolutely mindblowing, it has a five second resonance! And the whole place is covered in a huge fresco by the artist it was built for. Check it out if you're interested, Emmanuel Vigelands Museum.

    Finally someone reacts to Susanne! She is fantastic! My number one artist in the later years. And she is fantastic live! Both solo and with her amazing band. She also produces her own albums, so she is really talented and versatile. From the acoustic pianobased tunes to the superenergic electronica you can dance to. Every album is a masterpiece. I recommened watching(and reacting) to her live performance of White foxes from the Nobel concert in Oslo, Oblivion live with M83, Running to the sea with Røyksopp(live of course), When the lord musicvideo that she made for a documentary about her friend, a very famous norwegian photografer who lost her battle with anorexia. The imagery combined with her voice is absolutely haunting. I love your reactions! Hugs from Norway

    Surprised that you hadn't known about her ... and yes you're right , it's impossible to avoid the teardrops when you are at her concerts . Every single song of hers is mindblowing. But try listen to her collaborations with M83 (oblivion, the kids) and Röyksopp (Running to the sea and more) . You won't be disappointed.

  • @Dipper737

    @JohnDoeSchmoe 4 роки тому +4

    Ooh, now you've gone and done it! Tons of gorgeous music to dig up here. I second the recommendation of "When the Lord" as something truly beautiful and quite new from her. Pretty much anything by her is great, so you can't go much wrong. Try "Darlings". A very short, but heavenly, angelic composition that just soars and soars... and ends. She also has quite poppy songs, with good melodies.

    • @OkenWS
      @OkenWS 4 роки тому +1

      Darlings is perfect. Tune, vocals, lyrics, all heartbreaking, then as it's building up to some epic crescendo, it just ends, as you say. Which somehow captures the soul destroying kind of anticlimax the song describes perfectly. Then it breaks into the emotional frenzy of the rest of Ten Love Songs.

    Liked your comments, Susanne is a great singer/songwriter. Since you are in to norwegian female singers (Aurora, Angelina and now Susanne) you should listen to Ingebjørg Bratland. She is singing in norwegian but has a way of singing that comes from tradisjonal singing and she has a voice of en angel. She is writing her own music but I recomand "fordi jeg elsker deg" a translated cower of Dylans "make you feel my love".
