Song of the year, number 9: Zuzu - Timing (Official Video)

The opening calling card from Liverpool singer/songwriter ZuZu, and taken from her debut album Queensway Tunnel, 'Timing' was the perfect summer indie rock anthem; energetic, sun drenched, atmospheric and immediate. The video was a clever take on Tomb Raider while at the same time showcasing the beloved underground Merseyside tunnels that inspired the albums title. Tremendous and timeless.

Rising star ZuZu had the unique experience of being the first person to play to a live audience in the UK in 2021 when she was the opening act at a Blossoms gigs that was the first live music event to be included in the UK's Covid test event programme.

This video is a neat salute to Tomb Raider but it also gives the resourceful Liverpudlian an excuse to explore Queensway tunnels, which connect her native Liverpool with Birkenhead, and which serve as an imaginative and atmospheric backdrop to this surging, guitar driven catchy slice of indie pop. A strong contender for song of the year this one.
