FREE holder

Hi! That’s me holding the physical copy of FREE. You can hold it too! Read more details about it all below!

Hi there!

I am writing to let you know that FREE is officially out today. My EP is available on all digital stores, there are some vinyls available for you (you can find them on our SHOP and stream it via all streaming platforms.

My sound has changed – all songs on FREE are more energetic and different than my previous work, but that’s the whole point of evolving. There more to come, new music is on the making – expect an LP coming a bit later next year.

In all cases, today marks the start of a new journey. I am really excited to share my music with you guys. Please, know that I am very grateful to all of you for taking the time, listening to my music and reading my words to it. I want to thank you for your support and mind that I’ll always try to deliver better and better music, stronger messages and sing my lungs out for you. I am sending you much love from the bottom of my heart.

The FREE guide

If you wonder what’s the whole story behind FREE, I gave a couple of detailed interviews on various magazines and I wrote a track to track for my buddies on NBHAP. Here are the links for you, in case you want to sneak peek what’s in my brain and what’s my music about:

Dirty Sunday

New music: “DIRTY SUNDAY”

Dirty Sunday

Dear all,

Almost two years ago, somewhere in Nothern Europe, I had a truly dirty Sunday. What’s important after falling is to get up again and that’s what I did. Now, I find myself in Central Europe and although I can still relate to the icy, moody atmosphere of “Dirty Sunday”, I can guarantee to you that there is plenty of time to erase and restart. For all of us.

“Dirty Sunday” is the opener of “Free”. As I told you before, “Free” has this wide range of moods and that’s because it follows a journey of two years. The whole point of “Free” is to prove that it’s possible to start over. It’s not easy, but it’s possible – all you need is to believe and to see yourself where you want to be. “Dirty Sunday” is the moment that you realize that, in order to be happy, you need to change it all. Sometimes we lose track with our lives. It happens to each and every of us. We live fast and apparently, we don’t have the luxury to reflect on each decision we make. We don’t take the time to filter and think thoroughly. Instead of blaming ourselves or the people around us, we can choose to move forward and make it better. It sounds like a brave move, but I believe that all of us have this strength inside us to pull that through.

On Friday 27/11/15 “Dirty Sunday” will be available on all digital platforms, but from today you can listen to it via Soundcloud. On Friday, I will share with you a link where you can pre-order you digital and/or physical copy of “Free”. It’s truly exciting times for my team and me. I really look forward to sharing my work with you.

To conclude and let you listen to the song, I will repeat myself once again. The times we live in are historic. Don’s stay out of the loop – get informed and discuss your thoughts with other people. It’s up to us to change things. All we need is to take it on our hands. Let’s be honest and brave. Let’s be bold. If we know who we are and what we want for us and our children, then we have nothing to fear. We should stop looking back and start over now. Let’s focus on the future. Let’s erase and restart.

With love,

Sarah

Shows, band life and new adventures.

It’s been a long while since the last time I was on the road, but that’s about to change. Shows are coming up for Sarah P. and I cannot hold back my excitement!

My very first show/record presentation/birthday party will be on the 12th of December, two days prior to the release of FREE. For obvious reasons, it will be at Birthdays, in Dalston, London. It will be a free show. If you find yourselves in London those days, you should come over. It happens that I’ve played that venue with my old band, shortly before they had their opening or something. It smelled like fresh paint and everything was super new. It also happens that London is my magic city. Everything starts from the British capital for me. Although I’ve played quite some shows there, this one marks my renaissance and that’s quite important. The Sarah P. crew is super happy to share the stage with the gentlemen of Teddy. You can find more info on the facebook event of Birthdays , because no matter how much I nag about it, Facebook happens to be the center of one’s social life. ~Don’t get me started~.

We move forward with the dates since there are some more shows that I can announce *wink*.

Next stop is Eurosonic Noorderslag, in Groningen, Netherlands. The festival runs from the 13th to the 16th of January. Although I am not allowed to tell the exact date/time/location of the show, I have to say that I’m impressed by the venue that we’re playing. I say “we” because I have a band.

What is more, the shows must go on!

It’s probably no news that my home is now Berlin. On the 25th of January, there will be a Sarah P. show at Privatclub, in Kreuzberg. Yo, Berlin! Save the date. I will make sure to remind you, though, because I know that you do not plan that far ahead.

Anyway. If my messy writing & blah blah had you all confused, you should hop on songkick where all the dates are listed. There will be more dates added very soon. I hope I’ll catch you somewhere. If that happens, come to say hello!

With Love,

Sarah

PS: In other words and news, oh my, I caught a super bad cold, that I wish nobody gets it. Stay protected and dress well! ~ words by the granny of your hearts~

PPS: Just to make sure there is no miscommunication here, I will be fine by the time of the shows. Let’s make sure we’ll all be healthy to boogie. Naja. Boogie. To “shake it” might be more accurate. Byye!

Mixtape: We’ll always have… Music!

Mixtape

Hello from the tropical Berlin!

These days are just crazy! There are so many things happening on SO many fronts! This summer seems to unroll like a carpet on a staircase, right? What would we do if we didn’t have the music?

Currently it’s super hectic for me and my wolfpack! I don’t know if you’ve noticed the wolf-related artwork on my Instagram account. We’ll talk about it all very soon! Anyway, what was I saying? Oh, yup, I remember! We keep it busy over here as my team and me are working on finishing my record and preparing for the live shows. On top of that, I’ve been writing new music because inspiration knocks on my door in the weirdest moments! What’s important is that my first single will come out on the 10th of September, it’s called “I’d go” and it’s part of a mini album that’s called “Free”. I am so much looking forward to share my work with you and to start travelling around to sing you all those songs that’ve kept secret for a long while! To make the awaiting shorter, I snuck out some time to prepare an uplifting mixtape for you!

Whether you’re by a shore or stuck in your town, whether you’re feel happy or melancholic, my advice is to fill your glass with many ice cubes and the drink of your preference and turn up the music and enjoy those super chill vibes. I’d say that my choices were rather seasonal, but maybe there are some hints about my music style and what is coming up! I’m so much looking forward to hear how you’ll define my sound direction. I honestly cannot really tell. It’s probably a weird mix of many different genres! In all cases, stay tuned and make the best out of the last month of summer!

Take care,

Sarah

WXLVES – Always Running (Feat. Sarah P. & Donnie Darko)

Wxlves - Rain - Album Cover 2015

Dear all,

There is no rest for the wicked and so there is a new collaboration of mine that saw the light of life. You know, it’s all about work, work, work! I have been working like an ant the past year. As you can probably imagine, it takes time for the songs to get released – things get harder for the artists day by day, but that’s another conversation that I’d be happy to start on another post. And maybe have a real talk about it. Take it to the social media. But anyway. My brain hits me up with the whatever-what ideas, like whenever-when. Should I edit the text? Oh, Sarah!

So, back to the initial point. The Los Angeles hip hop duet WXLVES are Mem2001 & Black Brad. They sent me this song last year and I instantly fell in love with its sweet melancholy. You have to know that Mem2001 (Mark Michalski) is a really good friend of mine, whom I met through The New Division. ‘Always Running’ is a song that will take you to the underground hoods of LA. It’ll be your guide on your existential trip and mess a little with your tantrums and emotions. If you’re fans of old school hip hop, it’s more than sure that you’ll love it.

The whole album is available for free download on bandcamp and on soundcloud. For more details about the duet and their album Rain 2004, you can visit The Wild Magazine.

Till next time, I’ll leave you with this! I hope you like it!

Lots of love,

Sarah

The perfect end to the “Galaxy” journey

polaroid 1

Dear all,

This my new way to contact you and update you for everything that has happened, happens or is about to happen. Today’s news post is about my first live shows after such a long time.

Late April found me on stage with Sun Glitters. After releasing the Galaxy EP, we decided that for two unique shows I would join on stage Victor Ferreira and his (great) guitarist Alexander Ogg. That was a special moment for me as I haven’t performed live for more than a year. Considered that to be a very long time, my excitement met nervousness and I came up with the word “anxited” that is basically a mix of being anxious and excited at the same time. We started from London which is my personal starting point. My very first live show was in 2011 at Soho’s Madame Jojo’s. Now, it was at The Stillery in Camden and the setting was somehow more mature and intimate – which made it absolutely beautiful.

Second stop was at Urban Spree in Berlin. It felt really nice to perform at my new hometown – the crowd might have been a little more shy which makes it an even bigger challenge to break it and to have a special connection. It  happened, eventually. The night was magical and a perfect end for a dreamy collaboration. And who knows? Maybe Sun Glitters and me will cross paths again!

But hey, there are more to come! Till then, I am leaving you with my version of “Clouds in Your Eyes” that’s available for a free download on soundcloud.

Lots of love,
Sarah

Special note and thanks to Tata Christiane for the amazing outfits.

Another important note: You can order the Galaxy EP from the japanese cool label AY Records.
