Celebrated Norwegian singer and composer Susanna will release her new album, Meditations on Love, on August 23rd via her own label SusannaSonata. After recently sharing single “Everyone Knows”, today Susanna is sharing the second single from the record “Elephant Song”.
On the track, Susanna said “‘Elephant Song’ is an ode to being in process; to struggle, to stumble, being in doubt, feeling vulnerable, but to keep on going. All we have is here and now. Highly inspired by the Ethiopean pianist Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, and the first song I made on my new piano (a Steinway from the sixties which I totally emptied by savings account to buy).”
Together with Susannas vocals and sparse piano-lines, gorgeous saxophone by Harald Lassen, and in the last part of the song kettle drums, synthesizers, and string-heaven by Sarah-Jane Summers. The cover is a vibrant illustration by the artist Ingrid Torvund, who has also made the cover art for the album.
