/ 22/12/2017 / codexFor many, the first encounter with Susanna Wallumrød was in her unique reinterpretations of famous songs in the early 2000s. Since then, Wallumrød has impressed her audience time and time again. And far from just as a singer and artist. Wallumrød is a world-class composer and lyricist. Her music transcends genres and is unpredictable. It is playful and serious at the same time. Whether she is making new versions of well-known works, setting music to poems by Gunvor Hofmo, or writing both lyrics and music herself, there is an unmistakable identity of Susanna in everything. Call it integrity. We believe that integrity is part of the reason why she also attracts such a wide audience from such different scenes, be it jazz, contemporary or pop.
The album "Triangle" was released in 2016. Over no less than 22 tracks, we are taken on a journey through an original and diverse musical universe. The lyrics go to the depths of what it is to be a wondering human being. She has composed all the tracks on the album herself, and appears as a solid and mature composer and lyricist. She moves from the captivating simplicity of pop music to the complex surprises of the exploratory field with the greatest naturalness. "Triangle" has received strong reviews, both internationally and domestically. She won the Spellemannprisen for the album earlier this year. She has also impressed the EDVARD prize jury. We congratulate Susanna on an impactful album, and look forward to the continuation of an already brilliant career.
