  • Susanne Sundfør Avslutter Øyafestivalen 15. August
    14-01-2015 13:40 CET Susanne Sundfør avslutter Øyafestivalen 15. august Nå er det klart at albumaktuelle Susanne Sundfør skal avslutte Øyafestivalen på den største scenen Amfiet, lørdag 15. august. Hun etterfølger dermed Todd Terjes vanvittige suksesskonsert fra i fjor. Det er en mer musikalsk utadvendt Sundfør du møter i 2015, med høyere tempo og mer klassisk pop i låtene. Sjøl er hun begeistra over å få avslutte på Øya sin største scene: - Jeg er helt oppe i skyene over å få headline Øya i år. Jeg lover et stort show og masse kjærlighet. Susanne er aktuell med nye singelen «Delirious» fra kommende album "Ten Love Songs", som slippes 16. februar. "Delirious" er en annen stor sang og stemningsfull synth-pop låt fra Susanne. Den fengende vokalen og den pulserende synth bassen kjører i én retning, mens vakker kor og stryk (spilt av Trondheimsolistene) drar den tilbake ned i mørket. - Jeg ønsket å skrive en filmatisk sang om kjærlighet og kraft. Det begynte med bare beat og bass, og underveis som låten gikk seg til la vi på stryk og flere og mer vokalarrangementer, før jeg følte budskapet var klart nok. (Susanne Sundfør) Dagbladet ga terningkast seks lurte på om de har hørt årets beste låt: "Er det lov å si at vi har årets beste norske låt allerede niende januar?" På 'Ten Love Songs' har Susanne uten tvil levert sitt mest overbevisende og fullt ut realiserte arbeid hittils. Hun har fått god musikalsk bistand fra både nye og gamle venner, inkludert Anthony Gonzalez i M83, Svein og Torbjørn fra Röyksopp, hennes langsiktige samarbeidspartner Lars Horntveth fra Jaga Jazzist, og Trondheimsolistene.
