Phil Collins - Sussudio.

Описание: “Sussudio” is one of Phil Collins’ most energetic and recognizable solo hits. The song was released as the lead single from his 1985 album No Jacket Required and quickly became a worldwide success, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Built around a punchy drum machine groove, bright synthesizers, and a powerful horn section arranged by Tom Tom 84 (often associated with Collins’ touring band), “Sussudio” captures the bold, polished pop-funk sound that defined mid-1980s radio. The title itself is a playful, invented word that Collins improvised during a demo session and kept because it fit the rhythm perfectly.

Lyrically, the song tells the story of a young man infatuated with a girl he barely knows, full of nervous excitement and longing. Its infectious hook and glossy production made it a dancefloor favorite and a staple of 80s pop culture. The track remains one of Collins’ signature songs and a defining anthem of the decade.

Released in 1985.

“Sussudio” er et af Phil Collins’ mest energiske og genkendelige solo-hits. Sangen blev udgivet som førstesingle fra albummet No Jacket Required i 1985 og gik hurtigt til tops – blandt andet som nummer ét på den amerikanske Billboard-hitliste.

Med sin markante trommemaskine-rytme, klare synthesizere og en kraftfuld hornsektion indfanger nummeret den polerede pop-funk-lyd, der prægede midten af 1980’erne. Titlen “Sussudio” er et opdigtet ord, som Collins improviserede under en demoindspilning – og som han beholdt, fordi det passede perfekt til rytmen.

Teksten handler om en ung mands intense forelskelse og nervøse begejstring. Det fængende omkvæd og den glitrende produktion gjorde sangen til en kæmpe radiosucces og en fast del af 80’ernes feststemning. I dag står den som et af Phil Collins’ mest ikoniske numre.
