Susanna combines spoken word, poetry, and tape soundscapes on Elevation

Inspired by the works of French poet Charles Baudelaire.

Norwegian artist Susanna is releasing a new album, titled Elevation, via SusannaSonata this March.

Elevation was inspired by the writings of French poet Charles Baudelaire, with Susanna drawing on his work to craft “a modern experimental hymn.”

Across the album Susanna combines spoken word with tape recorder soundscapes, renditions from the original texts, and her own singing.

Elevation follows her 2020 album Baudelaire & Piano, which was also released on SusannaSonata.
