Susanne Sundfør is a Norwegian singer, songwriter, and producer whose music blends electronic pop, folk, jazz, and elements of classical music. Born in Haugesund on March 19, 1986, she gained prominence in her home country with her self-titled debut album, released in 2007. The following year, she released Take One, featuring acoustic versions of songs from that first album.
With The Brothel (2010), she expanded her exploration of orchestral arrangements and electronic textures. In 2011, she released A Night at Salle Pleyel, a live-recorded, synthesizer-driven instrumental work originally conceived for the Oslo Jazz Festival. Next came The Silicone Veil (2012), which includes the track “White Foxes.”
Sundfør also gained international recognition for her collaborations with the duo Röyksopp and with M83, with whom she contributed to the soundtrack for the film Oblivion (2013). In 2015, she released Ten Love Songs, an album that brought her work closer to synth-pop and received widespread critical acclaim. Two years later, the artist released Music for People in Trouble, marked by a more intimate approach and folk influences.
In April 2023, Sundfør released Blómi, an album inspired by motherhood, her family history, and the research of her grandfather, the linguist Kjell Aartun. Conceived as a love letter to her daughter, the album weaves references to Norse mythology and traditions into songs about affection, belonging, and hope.
On October 2, 2026, she released Revelations of Divine Love on the Bella Union label. Created in collaboration with British pianist and organist Kit Downes, the album was recorded live in a Norwegian church, using only voice and pipe organ. Its thirteen tracks, which include spoken passages and instrumental pieces, were inspired by the writings of the 14th-century English mystic Julian of Norwich, celebrated for being the first woman to write a book in the English language.
