Susanna has announces her new album, Meditations on Love

The albumʼs stirring opening track, “Everyone Knows” sees Susanna admonishes a cheating lover. The self-directed video, filmed and edited by Jonas Mailand, explores the idea of feeling alone while being together. It features choreography by Sulekha Ali Omar.

Susanna explains of the song: “I tried to capture the very vulnerable feeling of leaving a relationship and the shame that often comes with being betrayed. Your world is suddenly turned upside down and you are le with the aching feeling, 'how can I go on without my love?' And the ʻlove' is not just that specific person, but all the things you identify with the relationship, and how you identify yourself, who you are.”

“With Meditations on Love, I wanted to bring my songs and music into a new landscape. And I knew I had to find someone new to work with on the production to do that, so that I could be pushed in other directions,” says Susanna. She turned to Juhani Silvola, a Finnish-Norwegian producer and musician who moves easily between pop music, experimental sounds, and folk traditions. Susanna and Silvola gathered hours of material created spontaneously in the studio, assembling new arrangements as if putting a giant jigsaw puzzle together.
