Fall For Deb Suckling’s Latest Single “Romeo and Juliet”

If you’ve ever been in love with the wrong person, Deb Suckling’s new single “Romeo and Juliet” is bound to resonate with you. I love the grunginess of this one. The kind of love she sings about is pretty messy, and the sound of this track reflects that beautifully.

“This song was inspired by the numerous young people I have in my life including my son,” Deb explained. “The fact that we all have experienced huge first love at this time in our lives – that it can be so complex and so difficult to navigate because peers and parents all seem to have an opinion on your first true love. It’s also inspired by the music I listened to during my forays into teenage love.”

Listen out for Deb Suckling’s long-awaited debut solo album Worthy when it drops on November 19. She’ll celebrate the release with a free show at Brisbane Powerhouse’s next Livespark event on November 28.

Kick Back With Deb Suckling’s New Single “Clean Me Out”

As “Freedom Day” approaches in New South Wales, I’m enjoying the calm that comes with a weekend at home. While I’ve itched to get out on more than one occasion, I sort of appreciate my weekends being free of commitments and obligations. If you relish the calm too, you’ll love the cool, ambient sound of Deb Suckling’s new single “Clean Me Out.” The vibe of this one takes me back to acts like Mazzy Star and Massive Attack, both of which influenced Deb in her career. The song’s sound might pay tribute to these bands, but it tells a very personal story.

“‘Clean Me Out’ was one of the first big experimental pieces for me and was instrumental in me taking the road forward in making a whole album,” Deb explained. “I had just had a massive skin cancer cut out from the back of my head and was forced to lie low for a few weeks – Clean Me Out was recorded on garage band in my bathroom and made me realise how fragile life is – and how getting rid of old wounds was absolutely crucial to being able to move on in life.”

“Clean Me Out” is the latest single released from Deb’s solo album Worthy, which drops on October 31. Deb will celebrate the album’s release with a free all-ages show at the Brisbane Powerhouse on November 7.
