SABRINA – Sugar Rush (2022)
Through her previous releases, SABRINA has taken us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, including the ups and downs of friendships in ‘Friends’. She is now turning our attention to the sweetness of love in the soft, yet catchy, tones of ‘Sugar Rush’. Through the single, she considers the sweet touch of this emotion whether it is linked to a person or a place that you enjoy exploring.
Packed with gentle guitars and breathy vocals, the characteristic bass of her music hits on the chorus, taking the single firmly into pop territory. A single that you don’t want to miss out on, it is another showing of her musicality which has already been gaining serious mainstream attention. This attention has recently seen her featured on Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Longlist 2022.
There is a very gentle and light opening to ‘Sugar Rush’ that delicately taps you on the shoulder to get your attention. The soft drums and guitar that make their way through the opening slowly gain power as the single progresses. Through this softness, SABRINA brings the sweetness of the track to the music. While the melody is undeniably sweet and soft, there is a heavier bass that slowly starts to wind its way into the lower levels of the music. It is a very masterful blend of ethereal touches with the more characteristic aspects of her sound. The heavier beats meet a willowy piano line to gloss over your skin, while the overall melodic movement has you floating on waves of good vibes. The airy atmosphere fills your senses with pale pastel colours and the feeling of sinking into a cloud.
While the melody has you floating on ethereal pastel colours, SABRINA’s vocals are the painted skies of early dawn. There is a breathiness to her performance that enhances the overall tenderness of the single. The breathiness of her performance meets the gloss of the melody to get you relaxing further into the single. As her performance enhances the softness of the melody, the lyrics bring a sugary sweetness to your tongue. Through the lyrics, she takes you into a moment packed with love that leaves you feeling like you are experiencing a sugar rush. This has been really well done as the rush slowly builds only to hit you all at once on the chorus, filling you with the shivery energy of a blissful sugar rush.
Using breathy vocals, soft guitars and sweet melodics, SABRINA leaves a hint of sweetness on your tongue as she delves into the high of love in ‘Sugar Rush’. The single is a delicate number that brings a touch of her characteristic heavy bass to the delicate soundscape. Her breathy vocals enhance the feeling of the single while leaving a drop of honey sliding down your senses.
