New single from Sahara Beck’s new album ‘PANACEA’ With a huge buzz on this Brisbane based singer-songwriter Sahara Beck continues to grow with the announcement of her new album Panacea. Due on the 22nd April, the album was recorded in a week long session at the legendary 301 Byron Bay studios, right before it closed for good. The album sees Beck , along with long time collaborator and engineer Jeff Lovejoy exploring a number of influences from jazz and soul to glitchy beats. ‘Here It Comes’ written and produced by Sahara and co-produced with Jeff Lovejoy (Powderfinger, Tex Perkins, Evil Eddie) is a shimmering slice of sparkly indie-pop and muddy blues. Lyrically direct, full of head spinning melody and built on an irresistible groove, it packs a sting in the tail that seems to come from nowhere, yet makes complete sense. Deeply personal, Sahara explains “the song talks to the pressure, vulnerability and anxiety many of us feel dealing with day-to-day life. Looking a universal theme from a personal angle, the song is an exercise in pressure and release”.

Since Sahara Beck released her first full album, Volume One, in 2011 at the tender age of 15, critics and fans have known that the Queensland-based singer/songwriter was a rising star. Turns out her star was destined to rise pretty quickly, and just last week, Beck took home the People’s Choice Award for Most Popular Female at the Queensland Music Awards. With the current release of her second EP, Bloom, she has further developed the syncopated, sunshine-y style that has been winning over audiences in Queensland and beyond.

A powerful track from Bloom, “Brother Sister,” showcases her acoustic, alt-folk style, with thumping, textural percussion and carefully layered backing vocals. The track centers around a heartfelt, almost haunting tale, proving that Beck has a sense of wisdom and insight far beyond her years, and a natural storytelling gift that she uses to craft earnest pictures of life, death, love and beyond.
