NoSo releases new single “Suburbia”

A resilient and melodic tune

The song reflects on the absurdity of a certain type of suburban upbringing, juxtaposed with loving memories of friendship and nostalgia. The accompanying video, directed by Chantel Simpson, is inspired by a photograph of 8-year-old NoSo dressed up on Halloween.

NoSo elaborates on the song’s meaning: “Throughout college, I had a weird fear of learning music production. It wasn’t until my senior year that I started messing around with Logic andended up recording all of the instruments for “Suburbia” (the first song I produced). It felt like I’d finally found my sound. I had the instrumental for a long time without knowing what to write about. One night, I got a drunk FaceTime from my friends in Chicago, and it was the first time in a while I really longed to return to that part of my life. I grew up in a predominately white suburb outside of Chicago (that the movie ‘Mean Girls’ was based on), and had a difficult time navigating the environment. But I had amazing friends who had my back.”
