Often, the most painful part of a breakup is taking accountability for how you pulled on its threads, and SAHRA's latest single “Come With Me†is a tragic firsthand account.
With a haunting yet sensual charm, the London-based artist’s icy vocals still somehow feel warm. Produced by Slim Typical, “Come With Me†is a beautiful display of SAHRA's poetic storytelling ability, with chilling lines like “We’re falling apart trying to make diamonds with dust / Tearing apart at the seams, nothing’s enough.â€
It’s a single you just want to melt into, yet the raw nature of its lyrics aren’t the most comfortable to lay in. Luckily, they’re not supposed to be. A part-time singing teacher at the prestigious Trinity Laban College, artistic integrity seems to be held in high regard for SAHRA, and you can tell she really dug into the crevices of her truth on this track.
Alongside this single comes the announcement of her upcoming EP Stolen Moments, slated for release in late July. It’s a collection of odes to the varying degrees love scorns us, sealed with a feature from fellow London native, Bawo. Funded by PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music Fund, she’s been fertile with music since childhood, but this project is sure to leave its mark.
Love can be too easily suffocated if your grip is tight, and “Come With Me†makes even the death rattle of it sound delicious. SAHRA is an honest artist, and with an essence that speaks to Sade and Jorja Smith, she is one of the more promising rising R&B songstresses you’ll want to keep on your radar.
