A song from October: Sigrid - “Sucker Punch”
Written by Kaisa Laurimaa
Sigrid Raabe aka Sigrid is a Norwegian singer-songwriter. In the beginning of October she released her newest single “Sucker Punch”.
The song is energetic and positive — lyrics- and music- wise. At first it sounded a bit different, but the more you listen to it, the more you find Sigrid there. “Sucker Punch” is fresh and literally like a punch in your face with its energy. The song was written with Warren and Martin Sjølie in a studio called Ocean Sound Recording, that’s in Sigrid’s hometown Ålesund. This song has heavier production than other Sigrid’s songs. Raabe has said about the new approach: “There's something new, something fresh I haven't done before. So I would still say like, this is definitely myself, but just in a different way. I like it. I like discovering new things.” On the side note, what’s better than hearing that artist likes discovering new things in music, as opposed to doing the same safe thing.
Lyrics-wise Sigrid is singing about trying to find excuses to stay away from something that’s actually good. And even after all the trying, she inevitably comes back to it. Late October brought us video of “Sucker Punch”. The video shows singer in rapidly changing environments — track and field stadium, on top of different items — car, bunch of computers, piano and tires. One second she’s in an office, then in a party and then in a grocery shop. Sigrid’s energy is immeasurable, also the video is fast-paced and shares a great vibe.
