The single, taken from Reid’s upcoming album Robust Rebellion, is a break-away from the Irish-folk strains that made up her most recent album Celtic Commotion towards a more conventional folk sound that doesn’t sacrifice the Joburg based songwriter’s inherent individuality.

Underneath the nuanced, subtly evocative vocals lies an almost hypnotic composition that cycles between lullaby-comfort and unflinching frustration, guiding the emotional journey as Reid lambastes the narcissists of the world with a voice rich in tone and emotion.

There’s a dynamism to the vocals that makes them difficult to ignore that’s both tough-as-nails and vulnerable in its honesty, the lyrics clearly coming from a lot of introspection.

‘Suffer You’ captures a very specific feeling made up of a myriad of conflicting emotions; frustration and vulnerability colliding with anger and pain to create the rush that comes with standing up for yourself.
