Norwegian singer and composer Susanna has shared her new single "I Took Care of Myself", which is taken from her forthcoming album, Meditations on Love.

“It’s not necessarily easy to stand up for yourself, to leave a situation, a place, a relationship, to say enough is enough, this doesn’t work for me, I can’t take this anymore. When is the right time to put your foot down? There is an enormous power, almost exploding, in the acknowledgement of the moment” Susanna says about "I Took Care of Myself."

On the accompanying video, Susanna said: “The idea for the music video came when we recorded the song. There is something with the organ-riff that immediately reminded us about the corny organ played at the ice hockey games. And from that the wish for filming ice hockey players on the ice, with high intensity and speed, was born.”

“My hairdresser through the past 23 years used to play ice hockey for the Oslo team Vålerenga, so I had to ask her: how on earth can we make this happen?," she continues. "Cause it’s absolutely a point to it all that it should be female players, as it’s quite a masculine and brutal sport. The suits, the protecting equipment and that it all goes on at the ice has been an unfamiliar and exiting new environment for me to seek out. What a thrill to meet this team and see them in action.”

Meditations on Love is set for release on 23 August via SusannaSonata, and is available to pre-order now.
