Los Angeles-based artist Sahara Grim has released two new singles that showcase her distinctive sound and thematic depth. Released last month, "The Red Shoes" captures an eerie spaciousness, quickly evolving into lush acoustic textures intertwined with soulful vocals. This track incorporates hints of bossa nova, creating a vibrant atmosphere paired with twinkling keys and glistening synths. Sahara Grim describes "The Red Shoes" as a happy-sounding song that addresses darker themes drawn from classic folklore, highlighting how these tales resonate with contemporary life.
The second single, "Looking Glass," released today, features vocal contributions from Nailah Hunter and Lionmilk, with production by Luke Temple, known as Art Feynman. Drawing inspiration from iconic fantasy narratives like "Snow White" and "Alice in Wonderland," Grim has crafted a song that deals with the complexities of friendships and the necessity of letting go. In her words, "Looking Glass" symbolizes our reflections of one another, emphasizing the mirrors we choose to confront.
