Track of the Day: Susie Blue 'She Is'

Laced with a 90's indie sound - with synths borrowed from the noughties pop heydays - 'She Is' is a blistering, retro indie-pop song with a heartwarming sentiment at its core.

Speaking about the song, Susie Blue says: "'She is' is a song that has a lot of different meaning to me, I created this song when I was going through a bad time, it tells the story of a toxic relationship, mental illness and substance abuse but has a happy energetic vibe to it which shows light at the end of the tunnel, it was tough to write but I'm happy it's out there."
