Susanne Sundfør with Kit Downes

Susanne Sundfør released her eighth studio album, Revelations of Divine Love, on October 2, 2026. In the wake of the album release, she is embarking on a tour together with Kit Downes. Revelations of Divine Love marks a new chapter in a career that has been characterized by musical curiosity and constant renewal for over two decades. Since her last album, blómi from 2023, Sundfør has become a mother of two, left city life for the Norwegian countryside, and gone through what she describes as the most transformative period of her life. The upcoming album springs from Sundfør's encounter with the writings of the 14th-century English mystic Julian of Norwich. Revelations of Divine Love is considered the first known book written in English by a woman, and Sundfør has drawn the album's lyrics from Grace Warrack's translation from 1901. “I am excited to continue collaborating with Kit Downes and to keep exploring the music we have created together for the beautiful work Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich,” Sundfør shares. The album was recorded live at Bragernes Church in Drammen, featuring only Sundfør's voice and church organ. Together with British composer and organist Kit Downes, she has created a stripped-down and intimate work that moves between hymns, classical music, jazz, and Scandinavian church music. Over thirteen tracks, with both singing, speaking parts, and instrumental pieces, medieval mysticism meets a modern musical expression. – We live in a world full of horror, where unhappy and dissatisfied people do terrible things to each other. You don’t need to be religious to believe that love is the answer. Replace the word God with love, and you are left with a universal higher power, Sundfør says. Shortly after the album release, Sundfør and Downes will take Revelations of Divine Love on the road.
