Susan’s latest single, “Rose,” is a beautifully executed track about self love and self understanding. It is the fourth track off the monthly released project cleverly titled “suepreme.”
Exploring a range of complex topics perfectly, “Rose” evokes a deeply unsettling emotion; one that’s reminiscent of confusion surrounding one’s self. Though this confusion takes up some of the subject matter, it does not last long. The song is also, on the opposite end, about understanding on a deep level who you are, no matter the environment you grow up in, or the challenges you face. This development is much needed in music, and to see it approached so well is a breath of fresh air.
The track is backed by a music video directed by Charles Maddocks and Susan Reby. For anyone looking for an interesting and well thought out song about love and understanding, “Rose” is a great place to start.
