Susanna

Susanna premieres a live video of Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” — a song Susanna first recorded twenty years ago with Susanna and the Magical Orchestra on “Melody Mountain”. People still ask for it at her concerts; here she performs it alongside guitarist Juhani Silvola, whom she has played alongside as a duo since 2020.

Norwegian singer and composer Susanna announces her new album, Meditations on Love, and shares its lead single, “Everyone Knows.” Watch the accompanying self-directed video, filmed and edited by Jonas Mailand, that explores the idea of feeling alone while being together.

For Susanna’s new album ‘Baudelaire & Orchestra’, she scales up her distinctive settings of the French poet/bohemian’s classic texts, thanks to Oslo’s incredible, forward-thinking KORK orchestra. Listen to the first single, “Obsession”.

For her new album ‘Elevation’, Norwegian artist Susanna translates into music the rich symbolism and imagery of the work of 19th Century modernist French poet Charles Baudelaire and shares video inspired by his poem “Alchemy of Suffering”.

Norwegian artist Susanna has shared an animated video for “Wilderness” which forms a gorgeous fairytale based on her song and Hieronymus Bosch’s art; with colours, animals, spirits, different creatures and humour.

Our Song of the Day comes from Norweigan artist Susanna who is joined by Swiss baroque harp player Giovanna Pessi, accordion player Ida Hidle and fiddle player & folk singer Tuva Syvertsen for a live performance of Joy Division’s Wilderness.

Go Dig my Grave is an unsettling album of almost painful beauty and an impressive exercise in restraint and understatement. Dark, moody, eclectic: a small masterpiece of sombre beauty.

Listen to Norwegian artist Susanna performing Go Dig My Grave, a traditional folk song previously sung by Jean Ritchie and the title track of her new album which reworks traditional English and American folk songs as well as modern numbers by Lou Reed and Joy Division.
