Susanne Sundfør

Susanne Sundfør is a Norwegian singer/songwriter whose consistently inventive mixture of experimental pop, chamber folk, electronica, jazz, and classical music have garnered widespread acclaim in her home country and parts of Europe. Moving between a more organic, piano-led style and expansive synth pop, she topped the Norwegian charts with 2010's The Brothel. 2015's ambitious Ten Love Songs is considered her breakout album and crossed over onto the U.K. charts. During this period, Sundfør forged an ongoing collaboration with electronic duo Röyksopp and was featured on several of their songs. Meanwhile, her own music became sparser and more folk-based on 2017's Music for People in Trouble. Sundfør's sixth album, Blómi, arrived in 2023, signaling yet another shift, this time toward a pastiche of jazz, classical, and deftly arranged pop with a strong philosophical bent.
