Susanne Sundfør
Susanne Aartun Sundfør (b. 1986-) is a popular Norwegian singer-songwriter.
Biography
Susanne Sundfør, granddaughter of the acclaimed and disputed professor Kjell Aartun, was born and spent her childhood in the city of Haugesund on the western coast of Norway. She currently resides in Bergen, Norway, but has made several appearances in Oslo during 2004 and 2005.
Music
A master of both jazz and classical music, she has adopted a powerful hybrid, combining elements of both. Although new on the Norwegian popular music scene, she is already well known, and often compared to internationally acclaimed musicians like Joni Mitchell and Carole King. From these she draw upon great inspiration, as from Jeff Buckley, Radka Toneff, Ane Brun and Thomas Dybhahl.
Lyrics
Her songs are mostly about personal experiences (eg 'Africa, America', 'Time out, time', 'It's all gone tomorrow'), while others are more scoiety-oriented (eg 'Opium'). The idea and conflicting Illusions and disillusions is a haunting theme in her lyrics.
