Susanna has a new track out for you to jig about in the sunshine. It’s called ‘I Took Care of Myself’. It is taken from the forthcoming album ‘Meditations on Love’, due on August 23rd. We love it so why wouldn’t you? This is what Susanna has to say…
“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 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.” Susanna tells about the music video.
“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? 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.”
