Fade Away (Susanne Sundfør Song)
"Fade Away" is a song by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør from her fourth studio album '' Ten Love Songs'' (2015). It was released as the first single from the album on 24 October 2014. The music video for the single was released on 3 December. Background and composition The song deals with the theme of a breakup between lovers. In an interview with MusicOMH, Susanne said "It is personal, but at the same time it’s not. I read literature where I can connect. Everything I write I want to be from a perspective where other people can understand it. Love is pastiche. Love is such a cliché" in response to a question about whether the song is written primarily based on her personal experience. Critical reception Michael Hann of The Guardian reviewed "The way the bass hook in ''Fade Away'', a straight pinch from scores of dancefloor hits before, is kept stiff and hard seems to symbolise a mood of thwarted desire." Oda Faremo Lindholm of Dagsavisen described "''Fade Away'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ten Love Songs
''Ten Love Songs'' is the fourth studio album by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør, released on 16 February 2015 by Warner Music Norway. Sundfør began writing the album in 2012 with the intention of it being about violence, but as she noticed themes of love and relationships coming into place of all the songs she was writing for the album, she titled it ''Ten Love Songs''. The production and style of the record differed from Sundfør's previous albums; she was much more focused on making a pop album with "repetitive" and "direct" musical and lyrical structures than her past works. This was also the first time she was involved in all aspects of producing an album, including writing, recording, mixing, orchestration, and audio editing, and this huge amount of work as well as the extreme personal themes of the project led her to feel very ill, depressed, and "naked" when production ended in 2014. While half of ''Ten Love Songs'' was self-produced by Sundfør, the album al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop; ) is a music genre that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument.
