Setting the tone with out-of-this-world and enigmatic guitar licks fused with percussive detailing, before a riser introduces us to an emotive vocal performance, we are already hypnotized by Susy K‘s new single, Heal.
Heal is a contemporary soul opus, written and performed by the Scottish singer-songwriter who delivers the assertive lyrics, “Oh you think that you’re slick with it, and that you know it all, but I got news for you, I’ve been here before, so this doesn’t work with me anymore…”
We learn that Heal was created with the intention of amplifying the importance of finding one’s own truth and reassurance over seeking validation from others.
This is something that Susy herself has taken time to learn and heal from, and is now sharing with the world. With powerful soulful vocals, funky horns and synths, and drum grooves and bass lines dripping in soul, Heal does make us feel empowered indeed.
Brought up in Edinburgh by opera-singing parents, Susy K started singing at an early age. After immersing herself in the music of legends including Stevie Wonder, Jill Scott, Mica Paris, Michael Jackson and Chaka Khan, Susy soon found out that soul music was her true passion, although it is clear that she is now creating a universe of her own.
Throughout the rest of 2022 Susy K will be releasing single from her upcoming solo EP Hear It From Her, bringing her soulful groove-led songs about self love, self worth, overcoming grief and championing yourself despite what others may think.
We love the authenticity that Susy K creates with, and have added Heal to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate her upcoming EP!
