Beth Sarah – Let Her Go (2022)
Surrounded by music during her childhood, it seems natural that singer-songwriter Beth Sarah would have a passion for music – either that or she’d hate it. Fortunately, she developed a love for melodies creating intriguing music for the masses. She wrote her first song at age 14 (on the back of a napkin in a high school history lesson), and since then the flow of music has not stopped. In addition to her being part of the band Phun City and duo BB Jukebox, Beth Sarah began pursuing a solo project in 2020. The latest addition to this project is her single ‘Let Her Go’.
Following her single ‘The Trees of Ukraine’, ‘Let Her Go’ is the first track off Beth Sarah’s upcoming album (set for release in February 2023). In an interview with RGM, she describes the new song as “…a mantra to myself; it’s about letting go of who I used to be – feeling like I could never say yes to an opportunity and had to always squash my creativity to be all the things to everyone else…” – a positive, optimistic and empowering theme that many can relate to. It is this connection and relatability of her lyricism that brings intense intimacy to her music, as is the case in ‘Let Her Go’.
Unlike her well-received debut single ‘Rollerskates’, Beth Sarah shows an evolution in her music with ‘Let It Go’; or perhaps it’s merely a versatility in her style. With tinges of folk traipsing across the toe-tapping melody, Beth Sarah fuses modern pop with upbeat indie-folk. Her soothing vocals flow through the jovial, heart-warming song bringing a throwback to Carole King and Karen Carpenter. Yet, there is also a charming nostalgic flair nodding to the sounds of Sheryl Crow. Interestingly enough, despite these comparisons, Beth Sarah has a sound that is original and her own.
Sincere, enchanting and tender, Beth Sarah has captured my heart with her new single ‘Let Her Go’.
