SASAMI has shared new single ‘Just Be Friends’, lifted from her upcoming album ‘Blood On the Silver Screen’.
The album, set for release on 7th March, finds the artist working alongside co-producers Jenn Decilveo and Rostam, and narrates the ecstasies and agonies of being a modern lover, “relenting to illogical passion, obsession, and guiltless pleasure,” SASAMI explains.
Speaking about the new single, she says: “‘Just Be Friends’ feels like a really grown up continuation of themes/moods from my first two albums. I returned to some of the stream of consciousness, emotional lyrical writing style of my first album and kept riding the country wave that was in the fabric of Squeeze but with a bit more modern country influence. I love how country songs often tell a story. Longing, lingering, loneliness and lust. When I play this one live, I always dedicate it to anyone ‘sad and horny’ in the crowd… if that means anything.”
