Info zu Music For People In Trouble (Live from the Barbican)

Susanne Sundfør veröffentlicht auf Bella Union ihr nunmehr siebtes Studioalbum!

Dem Debüt in 2007 folgten 3 Nummer-Eins-Alben in Norwegen, ein Auftritt bei der Nobelpreisverleihung, zahlreiche norwegische Musikpreise und Kollaborationen mit M83 und Röyksopp. Mit dem siebenten Album kehrt sie zurück zu ihren Singer-Songwriter-Wurzeln. Auf ausgedehnten Reisen von Nordkorea bis zum Amazonas schöpfte die norwegische Musikerin neue Kraft und fand zu ihrer inneren Mitte zurück. Inspiriert von der kulturellen wie politischen Gegensätzlichkeit der Kontinente entstand mit Music For People In Trouble das bis dato ergreifendste und persönlichste Album der norwegischen Musikgröße. Ein besonderes Highlight ist der Song Mountaineers , den sie mit dem US-amerikanischen Künstler und Labelkollegen John Grant aufnahm.

"Noch nie hat ihre Musik so sehr die Sinne berührt." (Stereo)

Susanne Sundfør
born 19 March 1986) is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and record producer. Born and raised in Haugesund, Sundfør embarked on her musical career two years prior to the release of her eponymous debut album (2007), which reached number three on the Norwegian album chart. It was followed by Take One, a live album consisting of songs from her debut. Her second studio album, The Brothel, was released in 2010 to commercial success in Norway, peaking at number one and becoming the best-selling album of that year. The album saw a shift from the piano-driven pop of previous releases towards a more ambitious and electronic direction. In 2011, she released a live instrumental album composed solely of synthesizers, A Night at Salle Pleyel, serving as a commission piece.

Sundfør's music is varied, experimenting with various styles. Described as a mixture of experimental pop, electronica, folk, jazz, and classical music, the music she's released throughout the years also incorporates synth-pop, baroque music, electro-folk, electropop, dream pop, country, and avant-garde, while generally being labeled as an art pop musician. She has been compared to various artists, such as Kate Bush and Björk, although she's rejected these comparisons. She said the music she writes is heavily inspired by Carly Simon. Other influences she has cited include Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Cat Stevens, Radiohead, Burial, Skream, Aphex Twin, Depeche Mode, Scott Walker, Philip Glass, Sylvia Plath, and Elton John, as well as traveling, books, films, music, and "life in general."

Sundfør grew up on a mix of country, folk rock and pop music, while in 2015 she started listening to early dubstep: "When creating music in a folk rock environment the creative process isn't really taking place in the studio like it is when you're working with electronica. This ability to use the studio as a creative tool in itself made me lean more and more towards electronic music." As a record producer who's known for standing up against sexism in the music industry, she mentioned that "being a woman in electronic music often means fighting against prejudices that male persons do the programming and the females do the singing."
