Love Is Not A Weakness is a debut album, but by no means a first for Berlin-based musician and composer Susanne Folk. The German-American, whose last name is pronounced like the English "Folk", has been present for years in stylistically different formations such as Azolia, the Susanne Folk Trio & Celina Muza, Call Me Cleo, until 2012 also So Weiss, mostly on saxophone or clarinet. In Call Me Cleo she takes the role of the singer. The bands received a lot of positive feedback for their productions, tours led them through North America, China, African and European countries. With Love Is Not A Weakness, Susanne Folk now presents herself for the first time as a singer/songwriter alone at the grand piano.
With her first solo album Susanne Folk makes a striking statement. Love Is Not A Weakness builds on the power of a charismatic voice, accompanied by the natural sounds of the grand piano. This combination, along with a resolute omission of electronic sounds, creates a special intimacy, in keeping with Folk's thoughtful lyrics. The result is a collection of timeless songs of great intensity.
