Songs Revisited by Susanna
Norwegian Artist Susanna has been releasing albums for a decade already, with 10 albums so far- all highly acclaimed and the ones released in 2013 and 2014 both won a Norwegian Grammy in Open Category. This EP follows 2014's collaboration with Jenny Hval ‘Meshes of Voice’, and is otherworldly, penetrating music for dedicated listeners. Susanna is famous for her personal interpretations of other people's songs, alongside her own strong originals, and this upcoming EP contains both. Songs Revisited has covers of Leonard Cohen, Phoenix and Tina Turner, and new versions of two of Susanna's songs. Shimmering vocals, rolling drums, Helge Sten's remarkable guitar and Susanna harmonising with her brother Fredrik on the choruses.
“We toured in the North America last year, which was an exciting adventure with lots of good experiences. Playing live is always great for developing musical interactions, and the concerts made me want to record these songs and release them. A couple of new interpretations, together with new versions of my own songs, makes this EP- while I still write and soon will record a new full length Susanna album.”
