SAYAH
Label: Volkanik
SAYAH is the fiery embodiment of a relentless spirit slashing the red tape on what we know about electro pop. Her punchy flavour bears echoes of the late Amy Winehouse while production flaunts itself towards a fleshy RnB seduction on the cusp of alternative pop.
While SAYAH serves up hooky choruses you’ll catch lightning bolts of neo-soul and RnB that have ripened from a natural evolution nurtured by her biggest influences including Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Earning her stripes while studying at the Australian Institute of Music, SAYAH gained momentum diving right into her unique vocal approach and instinctively experimenting with production. As a songwriter, she chases bleeding emotion magnifying the experience with starkly honest lyrics.
Her debut single ‘Addicts’ removes all sensitivity towards pursuing the perfect relationship and instead takes a snapshot of the underbelly of raw toxicity. ‘Addicts’ shot straight to #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Pop Charts upon being uploaded and soon after received applause from Triple J with some airtime in early 2017.
Her second single ‘Bad Drug’ is a vicious confession early in a love chase.
