Sarah O'Moore [2024] - Troubled Mind [Self Released]

With a vintage, black, jazz sounding vocal (think Nina Simone, Big Maybelle, Billie Holiday and a contemporary, Lady Blackbird), it may come as a surprise (apart from her obvious cute blonde and blue-eyed looks) to learn that singer/songwriter Sarah O'Moore is white and Irish.

Originating in Cork she obtained a degree in Bristol and now lives in Berlin. She has, to date, released just four singles since her first in Jul '21, but is working on a debut EP "Social Paralysis" due on 28 Apr. Her writing, she says, delves into the shadows of societal decay influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Van Morrison.

Her fourth single, "Troubled Mind", is released today and is not for the faint-hearted as we think her sound and message (the song delves into themes of addiction, domestic strife, and the challenges faced by today’s youth) you will either love or hate. It's most certainly not what you would term 'easy listening' that's for sure, but then music isn't, and shouldn't be, all about dancing around a handbag to twee meaningless lyrics.

Released on 8 Mar was SAYGRACE's solo version of "twentyfourseven" (music video below) which is released again today as a duet with NW London's Solomon Newman White who, if you recall, released a cover of Thee Sacred Soul's "Can I Call You Rose?" two weeks ago on 15 Mar.

It went multiple (3x) platinum and was used in the UK for House Of Fraser's Christmas TV commercial.

She is due to release an 18 track project this year, with "twentyfourseven" being the first song from it.
