Susanna and David Wallumrød announce collaborative album with cover of "For No One"

Their cover of Lennon and McCartney's "For No One" is the first taster of Live, a collaborative covers album by Susanna and her cousin David Wallumrød.

Live includes covers of songs by Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits and more.

Susanna explains, "We played a lot together in our childhood and youth, being cousins, growing up in the same small town Kongsberg. After being highly active musicians for many years, we decided to do a concert together in 2017, at a tiny cocktail-bar concert series in Oslo. It was so much fun we decided to do some more shows."

"We did the selection of songs back then very much based on some of the records I listened to at that time," Susanna continues, "such as Emmylou Harris’s Wrecking Ball, The Best of Leonard Cohen from 1975, Joni Mitchell’s Blue and Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits. Now we both bring songs to the table."

Susanna adds, "When I look at it now I see that it reflects my love of albums, and how big of a role these artists, songs and albums made in me discovering new musical territory, and even more important: how to evolve as a singer. I guess that’s why playing these songs live with David feels like 'coming home'; we are having the best time with this music to be honest."
