Sasami: Blood on the Silver Screen [Domino]
Sasami’s journey began with a powerful mix of shoegaze and synths in her first album. Now, her third release embraces pop vibes inspired by Britney Spears and Lady Gaga. The song “In Love With a Memory,” featuring Clairo, mixes styles like Muse and the Strokes. “I was always a weirdo outsider and I didn’t feel like pop music spoke to me,” she shared. “Being a woman of color, I’ve always felt this pressure or need to make something that’s mysterious or innovative, and always shied away from lightheartedness.” Her latest work is all about changing that perception.
Sometimes people just want music that’s fun without overthinking it!
