Many congratulations, sir. You are now entitled to experience a pleasure long denied to the rest of us - the pleasure of getting to hear Susanne for the very first time. Lucky b*****d.

When I first heard her, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she is living proof of what pop music is capable of! (which is extraordinary things!!!)

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Indeed, she is a fairly new discovery for me but you are in for a treat.

I've heard a couple of tracks, they sound really good. I've ordered the CD and it should be delivered tomorrow. Yay.

Listening to it now. It's much more folk and acoustic than ever.
The trio of albums Brothel/Silicone Veil/Ten Love Songs were really eclectic and electric.
New album is a return to the roots of Susanne. She started out as a piano-playing singer-songwriter. I like the heavy side of Susanne but also the soft side, so this album feels as a welcome suprise, for the cold and rainy days coming.
18 september I see her play in Amsterdam. Can't wait.

I'm listening to it now oh my god The Sound of War... instant shivers and tears. No one Believes in Love Anymore... such beauty - The Golden Age/Mountaineers... cathartic
-quite the opposite album of Ten Love Songs. So quiet, introverted and well... comforting. The record company will probably be disappointed in regards to album sales - or maybe not. I would have chosen the B-side of This Boots Ae Made For Walking as the A-side, so what do I know. I was expecting to be a little disappointed myself actually but this is another artistic triumph from something as rare as a genuine artist working within popular music. The mood somehow reminds me of Linda Perhacs - Parallograms (that actual song, but also to some extent the whole album) although Susanne is more pompous and grand - which I mean in a descriptive way and not as something negative at all.
In short and after one listen: album of the year (not that I've heard that many others but it still rings true).

The great thin about Susanne is, that she knows when to tread different paths. If she would have made another grande electroprogpop album, maybe we would have been dissapointed.
Now she chose for something completely different. An album wich grows and grows with every listen. And the vocals are much more upfront.
I agree that The Sound of War is already the stand-out track.

Brilliantly summed up, it's a bit of a change of direction, mainly acoustic guitars and piano, kind of chilled out, reminds me of Kate Bush's Fifty Words For Snow. Just wonderful, can't wait to see her at the Union Chapel next month.

Thank you! If you haven't seen her live before you certainly got something to look forward too (and obviously if you have as well). I mean that voice... there's nothing quite like it.

I saw her last night. Apart from a few issues with the venue/soundcheck which left us standing outside for an hour and then she came out 10 minutes late which meant she had to cut a song off the set list as the Chapel have a strict 10:30 curfew, it was a wonderful, intimate gig. Mainly Susanne on the piano, sometimes with another lady on keyboards and backing vocals. She played most of the new album, sensational vocals! Oh, and not a good idea to have an upright piano placed on stage so that a third of the audience couldn't see her behind it!

When she played in Amsterdam, she played all songs by herself; acoustic guitar, grand piano and Fender Rhodes.

The lady playing with her on Monday was Megan Kovacs, who is credited on the new album.

She's a member of a duo called Bow To Each Other.
