Ten Love Songs is the fourth studio album by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør, released on 16 February 2015 by Warner Music Norway.[3] 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 also features collaborations with producers such as Lars Horntveth, Anthony Gonzalez, Jon Bates and Röyksopp.
Ten Love Songs spawned four singles: "Fade Away", "Delirious", "Kamikaze", and "Accelerate". The album and its lead single "Fade Away" became a commercial success in Sundfør's home country, with both receiving a gold certification.[4] Ten Love Songs received acclaim from music critics, some of them called it one of the best albums of 2015 as well as all-time. The record landed on the year-end lists of several publications, topping Dagsavisen's annual Kritikertoppen list, also appearing on the lists of sources such as The Guardian and Rolling Stone, and ranking number 72 on The Village Voice's 2015 Pazz & Jop poll. It won Sundfør three Norwegian Grammy Awards in the categories of Best Album, Best Producer, and Best Pop Artist.
