Sukie
Heart Emoji

Independent

WE SAY

Bristol-based artist Sukie has delivered a glossy and wistful ode about “going out with the girls” in Heart Emoji. The 23 year old's previous single Best of Luck saw her gain tastemaker support from the likes BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 6 Music, BBC Introducing South West, Wonderland and many more. Written at her home studio and produced with Duncan Pym, Heart Emoji glides over buoyant synths amidst a swash of warm and vibrant melodies with a touch of bubblegum pop. Watch her self-directed accompanying video here. Tastemaker support has come from Earmilk, Notion, BBC Music Introducing in the West and Asbo magazine, to name just a few.  A vibrant dose of fun alt-pop.
