Susanna

I listened to Susanna's song Hang Out while standing on top of a mountain in Oregon last week (picture above) and needless to say, it was a profounding experience. Susanna is what a fallen angel would sound like if it sang its pain for you. This minimalist singer hails from Norway and her innocent voice glimmers like crystal while emitting some of the most delicately dramatic music I've ever encountered. On her solo debut album Susanna wrote 12 "highly personal" songs and by listening to the album I can't even imagine what it would be like to hear her live. This is something special.
