Suki Summer’s ‘Marianne’: A Bittersweet Masterpiece of Love and Longing
Suki Summer’s latest single, ‘Marianne’, is more than just a song—it’s an emotional journey. Known for her evocative blend of gritty rock and 80s synth, Suki dives deeper into her vulnerability with this track, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into a fleeting summer romance in this poppy offering.
Drawing inspiration from her travels across Europe, Suki paints a vivid narrative of passion, connection, and inevitable goodbyes. The lyrics, steeped in melancholy and yearning, carry a personal weight, with Suki candidly reflecting on her own struggles with intimacy. The reference to Normal People by Sally Rooney adds a layer of literary charm, turning the track into a multidimensional experience.
Sonically, ‘Marianne’ is a lush tapestry of dreamlike harmonies and nostalgic synths, seamlessly fused with the raw edge of indie rock. Basil’s layered production mirrors the duality of joy and sadness, while Suki’s tender, emotionally charged vocals anchor the song. This is music that isn’t just heard but felt, resonating with anyone who’s experienced love that’s both beautiful and impermanent.
In ‘Marianne’, Suki Summer has crafted a song that feels both universal and deeply personal. It’s a testament to her artistry and her willingness to explore the softer, more fragile corners of herself, making her a standout voice in today’s pop-rock landscape.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
