    Blømi leaves solutions for our current problems back in the times where they could have been useful. This can only be music as morphine: a painkiller mixed with transcendental meditation.

    Despite its arcane references and philosophical nature, Blómi remains approachable and is often quite moving. That Sundfør continues to make such consistently challenging music and be justly rewarded for it is its own small miracle, and with Blómi she reaches yet another career high.

    This is a remarkable album, even for an artist as consistently strong as Susanne Sundfør has been to date. It reaches into the centre of the human heart with primal connections that probe at its very existence. It is another striking addition to the discography of a singer who just keeps getting better and better.

    The songwriting here is often very good, even timelessly classic.

    It's a thematically and musically complex record that encourages wonderment. [Jun 2023, p.92]

    Relative to the musician’s entire body of work, the album’s unflagging optimism and embrace of new age ambience are joyously therapeutic.

I find it really wonderful, the welcome/intro as from the beginning you are greeted with that narrative that leaves you meditating and then leads you to explore different melodies and sounds of nature that immerse you in a world that only Susanne knows how to achieve.

There is cleverFirst time hearing Susanne Sundfør and I find her as one of the most interesting artist and productions of the year so far. There is clever creativity around the composition, that the freshness of this album feels very quickly. I might find this so very interesting, that, in a way, there is a weird lack of entertainment that I would've appreciated a lot to give this album a gigantic place in my heart, but even without something fun to hold on to, Sundfør achieves an intriguing and clever place to exist, sing, smile and breath.
