"Not That Hard", the debut single from Suze Harper, is a breezy and striking introduction to a voice that seems both intimate and immediately compelling. Written while Harper was living in Paris, the song taps into a universal yearning for simple love, laced with an earworm-inducing melody.
It’s an organic arrangement, credited to Jack Trouble, that creates a warm and textured foundation for Harper's distinct vocal presence. It’s a sound that is both polished and effortlessly human, one that makes room for listeners to lean in to the story she has come to tell. The song’s video is also brilliantly rich in lyrical potential, with a rare ability to transition from something achingly serious to blooming funny, always capturing the essence of Harper’s writing.
After giving the song a road test in live shows across France and the UK, it’s already evident that Harper knows how to build a moment that strikes a chord with listeners. Already a demonstrably crowd-pleaser, with audiences reportedly spontaneously singing along with its infectious chorus during live shows, "Not That Hard" fully represents the track’s instant and universal appeal.
Recorded at Spiritual Records Studio in Camden Town, the single is taken from her debut EP, scheduled for release in early 2026. Harper's trajectory from a farm on New Zealand's South Island to finding her voice on the world stage gives her art an authentic sense of self and soul.
