Los Angeles-based artist Sahara Grim has released two new singles, "The Red Shoes" and "Looking Glass," showcasing a blend of atmospheric serenity and intricate thematic storytelling. "The Red Shoes," released last month, opens with an eerie spaciousness that transitions into lush acoustic melodies and soulful vocals. The song integrates elements of bossa-nova and lounge music, highlighted by twinkling keys and glistening synths that elevate its overall momentum. Grim describes the single as a happy-sounding tune that explores darker themes, drawing from classic folklore that resonates with contemporary narratives.
The second single, "Looking Glass," released today, features collaborations from artists Nailah Hunter and Lionmilk, with production credits going to Luke Temple, known as Art Feynman. This track is inspired by beloved fantasy tales, such as "Snow White" and "Alice in Wonderland," and addresses the complexities of friendships and the necessity of letting go of past attachments. Grim articulates that "Looking Glass" symbolizes the idea that we are all reflections of one another, empowering listeners to choose which aspects of themselves to embrace.
Both tracks are now available for streaming on Obscure Sound's 'Emerging Singles' Spotify playlist. For more information about Sahara Grim and her music, visit Obscure Sound.
