AUDREY NUNA's New Single "Suckin Up" Is Art
Hitting her hometown streets of NYC for the captivating visual.
For AUDREY NUNA, every track lends itself to its own audiovisual world. The one she’s created for her latest single “Suckin Up” draws from worlds very familiar – her hometown ‘hood of downtown New York City – and worlds apart in galaxies far, far away.
This juxtaposition is emblematic of NUNA’s artistry as well, which is particularly evident on the just-over two-minute track which sees the musician address her thoughts on the superficiality of modern society.
“Yeah, I talk, talk pretty, and I stink, and I’m smelly, if you / If you’re super jelly, don’t say sh*t about my belly,” she sings on the first verse before hitting the chorus. “Restart, don’t need puppy lovin’, cut the leash off / Tryna profit off me, I’m like Mona Lisa.”
The track comes accompanied by a striking music video, which finds NUNA galivanting across the Lower Manhattan Chinatown streets – as well as fitted in another futuristic “fashion-as-a-weapon”-inspired outfit in a dreamscape universe.

“Thankful for every drop of blood, sweat, tears, [and] urine that went into the audio-visual experience,” she shared on Instagram of the single. “Creating this video in New York/New Jersey made me feel young and naive again, and for that I am very grateful.”
“Suckin Up” signals the third single from the songstress this year, with a new LP presumably on the way soon. “There’s a time when growing up feels romantic and innocent, and a liquid breakfast was very much that. This next project is rooted in much darker undertones both sonically and conceptually,” she told Hypebeast earlier this year of her next project.
