SABRINA – Falling (2021)

The cold light of day can illuminate a lot of things that you wish had stayed in the shadows. SABRINA has grabbed onto this notion with her single ‘Falling’ as she considers the realisation that a relationship was not ready for the real world. As the once perfect relationship starts to get hard and messy, she slips you into her wonderfully balanced soundscape.

While the lyrics are packed with a sad realisation, there is a touch of positivity threaded into the chilled soundscape. Continuing her balancing of pop-inspired tones and unique dreamy vibes, she showcases how interesting electronic pop can really be. If you are looking for something pop-inspired but different from what you usually hear, this might just be the song for you.



SABRINA’s warm vocals open ‘Falling’ with a whispered confession. Her dulcet tones take a light turn as the lyrics take on a positive vibe. With this change, she brings optimism to your ears while hoping for the best for others. This dips for the second verse as you fall into the spiral of a relationship becoming messy. When the chorus hits, you are again lifted into the positive vibes. The movement of her vocal performance is wonderful as it takes on the sadness of realising a relationship is what you thought while bringing something positive to the fore.

Beneath her warm and positive vocals is a melody that matches the movement of sadness to positive. The simple yet deep opening tones have an expansive feeling that gives way to a shimmering optimism. The bright tones bring a vibrant feeling to your soul and help you shrug off the negatives in life. The arrangement is exquisite and offers you a pulse of positivity in a rather understated manner which is different from your usual electronic pop single.

SABRINA brings the realisation that a relationship was not what you thought to some rather positive and optimistic vibes in ‘Falling’. This emotional movement has been artfully achieved through her warm vocals which sparkle with the bright light of optimism. The electronic soundscape moves from deeply expansive to bolstering and positive for the chorus lifting your spirits and helping you feel positivity for others.
