"In February 2015, the Norwegian Susanne Sundfor released their sixth studio album now TEN LOVE SONGS. This is also reason for me to impress upon this album warmly recommend to.
Let's start from the beginning, however. With TEN LOVE SONGS brings the exceptional singer Susanne Sundfor, sure, ten tracks on a disc, illuminated substance of the seemingly inexhaustible theme of love, from all possible sides (also the dark side) and what is especially important, she has embarked on a style, of the spirit of the synth pop was to meet friends the 80s and 90s and the modern age. The songs are, judging by their style to that logical development, the. After the collaborations from previous years, with artists like Röyksopp or M83, more erhoffbar than expectable was lucky for us that hopes occasionally go in Erüllung One can rightly say, this album is flawless to 70 percent Synthpop, 20 percent are very classical, orchestral elements and the remaining 10 percent are minimalism. So if a series klicheeerfüllenden ballads expected, which will be fooled at times.
Sundfors vote is expected to be the highlight of each song and can fit into the electronic sound vestments as well as in the classic. Her voice is working consistently dominant and very diverse, over and against everything else in the mix through.
The album is at a healthy level of production. The pop Title tend partly to beloved sound bombastic, but without overproduced to act. I myself find it very pleasant that not everything comes extremely smooth, as it is loaded and exaggerated in the mainstream. There are countless goosebumps moments and melancholy, which is mainly due to Sundfors voice and compositions.
Opener is the song DARLINGS. Very kept short, he starts flat and minimalist. Only the vocals, just tender accompanied. This flat impression changes abruptly when Sundfor with the lines we wanted to believe that love Could lift us to the skies above ", from about minute 1:45, the complete fascination of her voice, doubled reveals what one inevitably and in violent intensity goosebumps thunders on the body. Amazing sounds of short tracks also from.
The song ACCELERATE, in second place, is not only the absolute opposite of the opener, he is also the first highlight. Very modern and especially flawless synth pop. In the depths stomps a pumping beat up about it clanking and crashing rousing and driving drum percussions and top Sägesounds, melodies and modulations. Well within the, wrapped in highly reverberant voice. In particular, chorus and melody lead are clear statements of their own labored: move and get carried away.
Fadeaway springs directly from the end of the predecessor and likely some, to be like me and have been known before the album release. Less impulsive the track is still danceable. The pleasing melody and catchy vocals, reminiscent of the synth pop of the late eighties.
With silencer it is below a little quieter and again minimalist. Here are quite charming and opera same song, classical and synthetic pad atmosphere and a moving vocal melody in drum-free ballad style.
During the subsequent KAMIKAZE bleeds every friend from driving, but melancholic pop heart. The title starts slowly and suddenly a bang with a brisk beat and rousing lead sound on the handset and have the effect that ACCELERATE has been triggered. The listener is inevitably faced with the decision to cry with-beaten or before fascination. What the song can flow over to emotion is overwhelming.
It is also at Memorial. There is one, whether you like it or not, missed the full broadside of emotions and the selfsame triggered inevitably in one. The song is certainly the most melancholy track of the album and both Sundfors goosebumps singing and the text overwhelmed by devotion and supplication. The title is long not just about ten minutes but has in the middle part a trip to the classical music, strings and piano solos provide charming melodies, up Sundfor aboard just before the end of the track her voice and the title of familiar, but can end up stunning.
Delirious again Electric Pop, this time a bit more rugged and again with tight drums. The track joins the ACCELERATE, fadeaway and KAMIKAZE Category seamlessly and is a good transition to my absolute favorites of the album.
This is called SLOWLY has, again what the '80s pop and is in terms of vocals, Lead melody and lead sound only to fall in love. Sundfor displays all vocal facets that it dominates, and can be heard several. The title presents itself in extremely beautiful and impressive melancholy, paired with injury and emotion. All this takes place in the mid-tempo range, which is why the part also is still danceable. I can only say, it's not hard, SLOWLY, sometimes to listen estimated 100 sequentially. The songs just does not lose its effect, I gave it a try.
Song nine TRUST IN ME has accordingly difficult to be reached at all. Unfortunately, I have to say it is not so bad, since even Sundfors voice, save or change for the better the well uneventful first song on the album can. Let's call it a matter of taste.
With INSECTS ends the album with a short held Elekro-roll, more classical and techno, but a crash. So go right.
Susanne Sundfors album TEN LOVE SONGS is currently not driving them out of my players. So much charm and feel surrounded by outstanding pop songs and ballads is simply poignant and compelling. With a clear conscience I can recommend this album to anyone who wants a modern pop with brilliant vocals, but outside of the mainstream home and feel comfortable and not too fine, take emotions in themselves. The point deductions for the slightly shallow end album are not the end.
