Rising star Suki Summer is excited to unveil her latest single, “Summer Crush”. The track blends a variety of genres, including indie pop, dream pop, and bedroom pop, showcasing Suki’s ability to navigate through different musical styles while staying true to her unique and captivating voice.
“Summer Crush” is a fun, flirty, and intimate exploration of what it feels like to have a crush on someone. Drawing inspiration from Suki’s own experiences, the song captures the nervous energy, self-conscious excitement, and uncontrollable joy that come with the early stages of attraction.
Suki shared her thoughts on the song, "This song is about the first time I hooked up with a girl. It’s an exploration of those butterflies you feel when you’re crushing on someone. She was this incredibly ethereal, naturally beautiful person who made me feel giggly, nervous, and completely out of my element. I wanted to capture that sense of excitement and self-doubt all at once. I’ve always been open about my sexuality, finding both women and men attractive, and this song is about a time when I first really fancied a girl. The music for ‘Summer Crush’ felt like the perfect reflection of those fluttering feelings, so I knew I had to write a song to it."
She continued, "The writing process was quick – I finished the song in just three days. The tune immediately came to me as soon as I heard the music, and I shaped the lyrics around the melody. The studio session was so much fun. We experimented with tons of harmonies and ad-libs, creating a sound that felt both playful and intimate."
A particularly special touch in “Summer Crush” is a sample at the end of the song, taken from a lively conversation between Suki and her friends the night before the recording session. After a few too many glasses of wine, they discussed how incredible dating women can be – a moment Suki thought was too funny not to include. The spontaneous addition adds a layer of humour and authenticity to the track, further enhancing its light-hearted, yet meaningful, vibe.
"I was honestly a bit worried about the recording session," Suki admits with a laugh. "I didn’t get much sleep after having too much to drink the night before, but thanks to a lot of coffee and a great team, we pulled it off. I think ‘Summer Crush’ might just be my favourite song I’ve made so far!"
Suki Summer’s music reflects her ability to seamlessly navigate different styles while keeping a distinctive and intimate touch. With a growing fan base and a passion for authenticity, she is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new voices in music today. Fans can expect more from the artist as she continues to break boundaries with her music and her authentic approach to songwriting.
