With his sophomore album, Attempted Lover, set to come out later this month, gold-certified musician Sueco has released the LP’s third single, “Outta My Head,” along with an accompanying music video. Known for his genre-bending capabilities, Sueco delivers tenfold on his newest track. “Outta My Head” is infused with a stellar blending of 90s grunge into hyperpop infectiousness, and fueled by the feeling emos love most- angst.
Sueco premiered his debut album It Was Fun While It Lasted in March 2022 under Atlantic Records, the follow-up to his two previous EPs, 2019’s Miscreant (also released under Atlantic Records), and 2017’s self-released TrippyNights. Announcing his departure from the label a few months back via social media, Attempted Lover will be Sueco’s first-ever full-length self-release.
With each body of work possessing its own distinctive style and sound, the singer/rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has never backed down from the challenge of experimental genre-bending. Mixing various elements of hip-hop, rock, and pop has become the Sueco standard, and the release of “Outta My Head” showcases his refusal to disappoint on that expectation. Switching between a rap delivery of lyrics and a display of raw, rock vocals, combined with high-energy drums, loud guitars, and an irresistible pop melody, Sueco’s talent for breaking outside the restrictive walls of genre is on full display. Ensuring “Outta My Head” has a little bit of something for every listener.
Filmed inside a home garage, the music video for "Outta My Head" drives home the song's 90s grunge vibes, further accentuated by the intermittent use of a grainy camera filter. As glimpses of the video's female antagonist are caught, she seems to be in a constant state of movement, most notably dancing. Almost as if to demonstrate how she's always putting on a performance of some sort, seeking attention. This seems plausible, given lines such as "Dress up how you want, you can't turn horns into a halo / Blamin', pointin' fingers, but it takes two to tango."
