CloudwatcherUno speaks with the Danish singer songwriter Sasha Adrian about Sasha’s EP ’Token’, her use of the ‘fictionalised truth’ in her songs, wanting to be the lead singer of a band rather than being in the background, her experiences of the Danish mental health system and surrounding herself with other artists who shared her vision for her music.

Sasha Adrian’s ability to blend raw, emotive storytelling with captivating melodies and intense instrumentals creates a captivating sonic landscape that draws listeners into her world.

This unique interplay between raw, unfiltered expression and melodic allure establishes Sasha Adrian as a compelling and unapologetically genuine artist, capable of evoking a wide range of emotions through her music.

Drawing from the influences of acclaimed artists such as Julia Jacklin, Phoebe Bridgers, and Louien, the music resonates with a profound depth, encapsulating a narrative that delves into the complexities of human emotions and experiences.

Sasha Adrian, an emerging talent in the music industry, is captivating audiences with the release of her debut EP ‘Token‘ in 2023. The EP embodies the poignant exploration of love, the sting of betrayal, the emotional bruises left behind, and the resilient pursuit of healing and self-restoration after one’s personal boundaries have been transgressed. This evocative blend of sound and lyrical artistry reflects the raw, unfiltered essence of the human spirit, creating a compelling resonance that speaks to the shared struggles and triumphs of the human condition.

For me the stand out tracks from the new album are “Jared”, “Jim and Me” and “Still Got You”. The album is a snapshot of the human condition, happiness, love and grief all rolled into one distinctive album. The album keeps the tradition of John Prine and Ian Tyson alive for a new audience.
