Susanne Sundfør

I have made a post preveusly without that much success, so I make another one.

I will recomend anyone with the taste for good atmospheric pop with touches of classical, jazz, electronica, folk, medeval and ballad forms to sheck her out. she have released two albums

s/t from 2007 more classical and jazz influenced pop, she is realy good on the piano, great classical piano intros and coplex melodies, she is trainded in classical.

the Brothel from 2010 (this album is quite progressive musicaly, but not quite rock, more well... can't quite think of what you can qualify it as, not verry accesable... acquires more then one listen). the music on this release is quite earthshattering, very emotional and grand.

and I am not ashamed to say that im a fan, on the concert i attended ther was alot of males whom not only was there to see a cute girl on stage but also to listen to incredible music
 
I think of fans of Kate Bush, Björk, Joni Mitchell will like her music.

I see that Carole King is an influence as well.

^  good to hear (I tried to get her into the archives ) but I understand that was probably a bit off the progradar.

Can her music be compared with Anja Garbarek ?

As far as I can tell, Susanne Sundfør and Take One share the same tracklist minus one song, and are both priced the same... Which one should I get? this very good album more Piano drivven but full of classical influenced and twists and turns, but less progressive I might also recomend another Norwegian solo princess less prog but equally good, Marit Larsen she have two must have albums Under the Surface and the Chace if you like Roger Hodgson then she is close to that

our favourite Susanne Sundfør is out with a new album this week, you might check it out, it might be even more experimental then previous album

Yeah, I got the debut along with The Brothel - not sorry, love it anyhow, but agree that follow-up is way better. Psyched about the new album as well (hopefully I'll get it this year - bit tight for cash with GAR at the doorstep), even though I much prefer the acoustic version of "White Foxes" to the album version. 

The beginning and end of what probably will become album of the year:
