Following the success of their breakout debut single “Inside Our Pockets”, which playlisted on major Spotify Playlists like All New Country, rising South African duo Suits of Armour return with a vibrant new release, “Lights Out”, a fun, energetic pop anthem infused with country charm and undeniable chemistry.

Formed in 2023 by singer-songwriters Melanie Nash and James Robertson, they have quickly carved out a space for themselves with their seamless blend of folk, rock, and country influences and have shared the stage with top South African acts Prime Circle and Jessie Clegg.

Melanie Nash, a seasoned performer whose musical journey began long before the duo’s formation, brings her folk sensibilities and melodic instinct to the forefront.

James Robertson, known for his early 2000s chart success and instinctive storytelling, adds dynamic energy and rock undertones that give the track its punch. Together, their vocal interplay creates a sound that is both intimate and anthemic.

The name Suits of Armour reflects the paradox of being artists, exposed yet shielded, vulnerable yet strong. With “Lights Out,” that armour feels lighter, revealing a duo fully comfortable in their chemistry and confident in their evolving sound.
