Suzi Wu - Taken Care Of (Austin Session: SXSW 2018)

This is Suzi Wu performing an acoustic version of her song 'Taken Care Of'. There's a severe lack of Suzi Wu live stuff on YouTube, but this bootleg recording of 'Grim Reaper' from a gig in Brooklyn in early 2019 has camerawork that's not too wobbly.

Songs of the year: Number 8

North London streetwise edge meets crunchy electro beats and a post party weariness in a young up and coming voice.

'Taken care of' was blessed with a catchy hook, and Wu has been similarly blessed with the kind of rough edges that create charm rather than caution. She's been picked up by BBC Introducing in 2018 and should go on to do well thanks to the laconic and imaginative nature of her songwriting.

Suzi Wu - Taken Care Of

The genius of Suzi Wu has crept up on me over the past six months or so. I liked 'Teenage Witch', but it's been 'Taken Care Of', with it's toughness and crunchy beats that has slayed me so far.

Looking forward to more.
