Suki Summer is back and making a lot of noise—noisy, loud, unapologetic, and electrifying. Her latest single, "Nothing At All," is a bold pop-rock anthem that is as undeniably fresh as it is irresistibly nostalgic, charting the debut of the rising singer-songwriter. A raucous offering brimming with gritty guitar riffs and shimmering 80s synths, as well as a defiant narrative of self-ownership, this track cements Suki's ability to challenge the status quo beautifully.
"Nothing At All" is a catchy tune, a proclamation. In a world where a woman's choices are still often shamed or questioned, Suki flips the script, throwing herself into independence and sexual freedom with rapier-like lyricism and an impervious disposition. "There's so much stigma that still exists around women's attitudes about sex," she continues. "I wanted to write something that says, "I can do whatever I want with my body, and I don't owe you anything else."
The production on "Nothing At All," led by Umberto Conca, preserves the raw energy of a live gig, recorded in just an eight-hour blitz at The Premises Studios in London. Nothing here is left out. The blistering guitar solos, the pulsing synth layers, whatever contributes to that rebellious spirit, there isn't a wasted moment on this record, making it a must-listen for everything from classic rock to that more modern alt-pop crowd.
If Suki Summer fans thought the release of her new song "Nothing At All" was a mere arrival on the music scene, they're dead wrong. Uplifting, catchy, and countrified, this is pop-rock at its most fearless. Watch out for Suki. She's only getting started.
