In today’s R&B landscape—where authenticity, versatility, and global reach are the currency of stardom—American-Dominican singer-songwriter Suzi is proving she has it all. Nearly a decade after her viral breakout, she’s back with Hit The Target EP Deluxe, a project that cements her evolution from promising newcomer to fully realized artist with a sound as confident as it is infectious.
From Viral Fame to Artistic Freedom
Suzi’s journey began in 2015 with the Fetty Wap-assisted smash “Nobody’s Better,” a sultry anthem that went on to rack up over 300 million streams worldwide. Billboard hailed the single as one of Fetty’s standout collaborations, a recognition that instantly put Suzi on the radar as a rising voice in R&B. She kept her momentum alive with collaborations alongside Tory Lanez and Jim Jones, while also showcasing her personality and artistry on VH1 and Telemundo.
But unlike many viral stars, Suzi didn’t stop at being a feature. She doubled down on her craft, honing her skills, expanding her sonic palette, and building a core fanbase that now boasts 800,000+ monthly Spotify listeners and over 150,000 Instagram followers.
Hit The Target EP Deluxe – A Statement Project
With Hit The Target EP Deluxe, Suzi delivers a body of work that’s equal parts playful, sultry, and unapologetically bold. The project thrives on contrasts: the title track “Hit The Target” finds her urging her lover to step up as both a partner and a leader, while “New Bae” flips the script with a celebration of self-worth and moving on.
On “Swollen,” Suzi leans into her commanding presence, pairing smooth vocals with razor-sharp lyricism: “Please don’t talk to me, unless your pockets swollen. Yup that’s what I need. More than a couple G’s. Nothing in life is free, so your pockets better be swollen…” The track, driven by guitar textures, is one of her boldest statements yet.
The “Fine By Me (Remix)” stands out as a cross-cultural highlight, featuring Brazilian R&B sensation Vulgo FK. Suzi’s velvety delivery meshes seamlessly with Vulgo’s verse in Portuguese, creating a global groove tailor-made for dance floors from New York to São Paulo.
Suzi in Her Own Words
When reflecting on her new project, Suzi describes it as more than just a collection of songs:
“Hit the Target is more than just an EP for me, it’s a moment. Every song is a different layer of who I am right now, and I finally let myself play, take risks, and say what I really feel. I’m so proud of how this project came together, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear the growth, the flavor, and the freedom in these records.”
That freedom is palpable throughout the EP. From the sleek empowerment anthems to the sensual, late-night confessionals, Suzi embraces her multidimensional artistry without hesitation.
A Tri-State Star with Global Appeal
Born and raised in the Tri-State area with Dominican roots, Suzi has always carried a cross-cultural perspective in her music. Her ability to fuse R&B, pop, and hip hop has made her a standout in an era where genre lines blur more than ever. With her latest project, she’s not just aiming for the charts—she’s aiming for longevity.
In 2025, Suzi feels less like the newcomer who turned heads with a viral hit and more like a seasoned artist curating her own lane. Hit The Target EP Deluxe is both a reintroduction and a declaration: Suzi isn’t just back—she’s here to stay.
