REFLECTION
Whatever you’re playing I’m game
Wherever you’re going I’m coming with you
Running to stay the same
Cheating ourselves to be true
Trying to break through walls
And making all ends meet
Diverting all the calls
Stuck in a one way street

Nothing you can do to get out of this mess
Nowhere you can go to get out of this endlessness
Nothing you can do to get out of this mess
Nowhere you can go to get out of this endlessness

I only believe in luck
Everything else is fake
You say you don’t give a fuck
I say it’s a piece of cake
Give me a place to go
I’ll follow you anywhere
I don’t really want to know
And I don’t really care
Don’t really care

It’s just a reflection that gets you high
Gets you high
It’s just a reflection that gets you high

There’s nothing you can do to get out of this mess
There’s nowhere you can go to get out of this endlessness
There’s nothing you can do to get out of this mess
There’s nowhere you can go to get out of this endlessness

How come I want you to hurt me just like no one has hurt me
And I try and I try and I make myself anxious
Thinking your thoughts for you
How could you ever know what I go through
Thinking bout where you go
How come I want you to like me like you never liked anything
Like yourself thinking about your needs all day long talk about god
Lets hear it once more
It’s just the reflection that gets you high, gets you high
It’s just the reflection that gets you high, gets you high
It’s just the reflection that gets you high, gets you high
It’s just the reflection that gets you high, gets you high
It’s just the reflection that gets you high, gets you high

Three years after her debut album "Shape of Fear and Bravery" Suz is now back with her second work, "One is a Crowd".

The first single from the new album of this Italian songwriter, "Distant Skies (Don't Say a Word)", is a track produced by" KutMasta Kurt, the American producer best known for his work with New York rapper Kool Keith (aka Dr. Doom and Dr. Octagon) and collaborator with many other prominent hip hop artists such as The Beastie Boys, Dilated Peoples, Blackaliscious and Dj Spooky as well as, in the beginning of his career, composer for great hardcore punk bands such as The Circle Jerks and Nomeansno.

In this single we are accompanied over a base of typically mysterious and uncomforting tones holding echoes of many memorable hip hop seasons, by the unmistakable warm and caressing voice of Suz, who seemes to have taken much from great British trip hop singers such as Shara Nelson, Martina Topley Bird and Neneh Cherry. Her voice guides us in a solitary walk along dark alleys, at times illuminated only  by the sinister blastings of distant bombs. To use Dj Shadows’ words, it’s “midnight in an (im)perfect world”, a world where there is nothing left to say, and no chance for love. Just two people far from each other, under two distant skies.

This single is enriched by three remixed versions of the song. A version inspired by the new frontiers reached by current British bass music was crafted by Alessiomanna, former bass player of Casino Royale, currently working under the new moniker BlackJob for his solo project. A more dance oriented reinterpretation is the one by Turin producer Ezra (Bratski Krug, Dub Pigeons), co-owner with Epitome of the Label No.Mad Records that will release “One Is A Crowd”.

Last (but not least) is a version, where we can readily recognize the very particular jazz funk tones that belong to Katzuma, formerly Sangue Misto Deda, working with that virtuoso ensemble of musicians - piano, bass, flute and sax - called The Expanding Machine. 

Suz is a unique voice in the italian music scene, a personality that can go beyond national borders. “Distant Skies” projects her music towards other skies, very far from here.
