sadie - '4am'
Drawing in elements from hyper pop - Brooklyn based produced and songwriter sadie hits the spot with her alt-pop debut track ‘4am’.
Sadie’s melancholic pop songs are filled with catchy autotune hooks that float above her spacious production. Drawing from elements of hyperpop, her songs are speckled with bright, plucky synths, and distorted basses.
Classically trained on the piano from the age of 5, Sadie began using Albeton to experiment with production in her last year of college, heavily influenced by the compilations and releases from the UK collective PC Music. Inspired most by those pushing the boundaries of pop, her biggest influences range from the likes of Charli XCX, AG Cook, SOPHIE, Bladee, Bjork, and Kate Bush.
Sadie’s debut single “4am” imagines the interior worlds of two people driving around in the middle of the night, leaving everything between them unsaid. “I pictured two people rolling their windows down, ignoring their problems, not naming whatever is making them sad and lonely. They’re together but they’re not really together.”
