Susanne Sundfør announces new album “Revelations Of Divine Love”. Listen to the single “I It Am”

Susanne Sundfør has announced her new album “Revelations Of Divine Love“, out October 2nd via Bella Union, previewed by the single “I It Am”, a rarefied, ethereal composition that introduces the spiritual atmosphere of the project. It's the Norwegian singer-songwriter's seventh studio album and the follow-up to “blómi“, released in 2023.
At the heart of the record is a new reflection on love, developed by Sundfør in recent years through the experience of motherhood – she has become a mother of two – and a move to the countryside. A personal shift that has pushed the artist toward a more intimate, contemplative dimension: “You don't have to be religious to believe that love is the answer”. Here's the striking cover art.

“Revelations Of Divine Love” was recorded live in a Norwegian church using only voice and pipe organ. Kit Downes, the British pianist and organist and BBC Jazz Award winner, collaborated on the record. The lyrics likewise draw on a precise literary and spiritual source: they take their cue from Grace Warrack's 1901 translation of “Revelations Of Divine Love”, the work of 14th-century English mystic Julian of Norwich, regarded as the earliest known book written in the English language by a woman. Sundfør, however, wanted to steer away from the traditional solemnity associated with voice and organ meeting: “Traditionally, voice with organ is powerful and strong. I wanted the opposite: something soft, whispered, as understated as possible. It's about authenticity, not perfection. It had to be playful and eccentric.”
That approach is already evident on the first single “I It Am”, released today, August 7, which builds a suspended, almost liturgical atmosphere out of just a few elements.
