Suzy Callahan-Oh Yeah

If you love folk pop, Suzy Callahan’s new song is right up your alley! Suzy’s new single, itself a remix of her 2006 single Oh Yeah, is a lush yet upbeat pop track that showcases her rich vocal. One standout moment in the track is in the chorus, where a choir of backing vocals support her vocal and spread throughout the stereo field, creating a really cool effect. Suzy’s sound is most reminiscent of artists like Carly Simon and Fleetwood Mac, and is perfect for fans of classic 70s folk.
