Sabrina – Drive (2021)

There are times when we have to make decisions that hard and leave us questioning what we have done. If you are in this position, Sabrina is here to give you the confidence you need to own your decisions in ‘Drive’. With a touch of femme fatale boldness, she empowers listeners while celebrating the end of a relationship through the knowledge that this was the right thing to do.

While this is only her third single, the finesse and arrangement of the track make you think it was created by a veteran musician. The careful crafting of her sound is one of the reasons why she is one of the artists you need to keep an eye on. With a splash of electronic pop weaving around a bold style, she will have you feeling empowered by the end of the single.



‘Drive’ carefully draws you in with a whisper of sound that turns into a stop-start pulse. The melody makes great use of layers of electronic sound to create an interesting soundscape that effortlessly pulls you in. The lower levels are a head-bopping and foot-tapping beat that vibrates in your chest. The higher levels are light twinkles that swirl into a wash of pastel colours. The interplay of these melodic layers enhances the boldness of her sound and pulses the messaging of the track into your soul.

Sabrina’s vocals form another layer that rides the top flow of the melody. Her voice is bright and light as it steadily skates across the melody. The lightness of her performance lifts your spirit and opens your senses to the confidence she infuses into each word. The lyrics bring an understanding of why a breakup happened and why this was the best option for everyone. The combination of the lyrics with the bold sound and light vocals will fill you with the confidence to make hard decisions in your own life.

Sabrina uses a bold electronic sound and bright vocals to fill you with confidence and embrace the decisions you have to make in ‘Drive’. While the single focuses on the end of a relationship, there is a wider reach to the upliftment it offers. Through the single, Sabrina shores up your confidence in your decisions while offering the backing you need to own them.
