North London upstart Suzi Wu is back with "Taken Care Of", another searing preview of upcoming debut EP Teenage Witch.
Wu's latest tune is a fiery-eyed explosion of fractured rhythms and slurred vocals. The teenage singer/songwriter commands the room with confidence and charisma, her fearless attitude almost as infectious as the expertly crafted pop hooks that latch onto your brain - this is another very impressive turn.
"'Taken Care Of' is about the things that made and broke me as a child, and finding power in my inability to be perfect. I wrote it for teens and children who are lost and who lead double lives," Wu explains.
The Teenage Witch EP is out 8 September via Lucky Number.
