Susanna releases the first single from her upcoming album Elevation, a follow-up to 2020’s Baudelaire & Piano. Alchemy of Suffering is a poem by Charles Baudelaire, Susanna sings and plays piano and Stina Stjern joins on tape recorder. 

“A mesmeric ensemble, growing in beauty and intensity throughout. Another delicate yet profound piece of orchestral intimacy from this unique and soulful artist. Focussing on the strength of the rhythmic keys and the pattern which emerges alongside the stunning and harrowing vocal harmonies, conveying this complex journey filled with emotion, anguish, and lashes of this tender intimacy challenging the audience’s own affection. Nothing short of perfection.” Circuit Sweet 12th of January 2022
