Publicity Campaign: Sue Nami - ‘Favourites & Roses’

They say life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. For emerging artist Sue Nami, that sentiment is literal inspiration: her debut album, Favourites And Roses, is named after two iconic chocolate boxes and promises a deliciously eclectic musical journey. 

Following the heartfelt single ‘Over The Moon’, Sue Nami’s debut is anything but predictable. Across twelve tracks, listeners are treated to a taste of seven different genres, each song acting as a trailer for the artist’s ambitious future releases. From pure pop ‘Tears Fall Like Rain’, ‘Over The Moon For You’, ‘Whale Watching In The Sky’, to hip hop and R&B with ‘How Can I Make It Up To You’, ‘How Do You Sleep At Night’, to next year’s Pride anthems ‘Boy Your Mine’, ‘I’m Just Not Woman Enough’, bluegrass and country tracks ‘30 Feels So Old’, 90s house ’Black Sheep Convention’, and even heavy metal song ‘Letter To A Child’, ‘Feeling Miserable’ and ‘Drop Bears’ – Sue Nami’s versatility knows no bounds.

Each track is rooted in real-life experiences and raw emotion. ‘Black Sheep Convention’ is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, while ‘30 Feels So Old’ candidly addresses youth culture, binge drinking, and health struggles, drawing from Sue’s own battles with liver and kidney damage. ‘Drop Bears’ cheekily nods to the infamous Aussie myth, blending humour and heavy riffs.

Raised in the cane fields of North Queensland and now calling Melbourne’s vibrant music scene home, Sue Nami is a self-described “jack of all genres.” Her influences are as diverse as her sound, which her audience got to see at her album pre-release show at The Last Chance in Melbourne. With an incredibly engaged audience receiving the first listen of the album. 

With Favourites And Roses, Sue sets out to prove that genre is no barrier to storytelling, and dreams big: releasing an album in every genre, and one day, a Grammy nomination for each.
