Brissie bombshell Sahara Beck is set to reign supreme when she brings her glorious new EP, Queen Of Hearts to Sooki Lounge on November 1.
The EP Lovingly crafted by ARIA Award-nominated producer Tony Buchen is fearless, flamboyant and brimming with seductive art pop, with Sahara’s sensuous voice shining front and centre.
Brought to life by Beck’s work with Buchen and honed at his Kingsized Soundlabs studio. The pair first collaborated in 2017 and the connection was so strong, Sahara couldn’t wait to get back.
“I spent two years throwing my heart and soul into these songs and my instinct was that Tony could help me take these songs to a place I’d only been dreaming of,” Ms Beck says about her studio buddy.
“I like how much he pushed me every day – more than anyone had before – and he got me to sing in ways I didn’t know I could.”
The EP which has been two years in the making, stars her previous singles ‘Here We Go Again’, ‘I Haven’t Done a Thing Today’ and ‘Don’t Overthink It’.
Don’t Overthink It’ is the latest anthem released by Brisbane babe Sahara Beck, and the track brings her trademark swagger with a glistening groovy vibe; treating listeners to an art-pop banger.
Though, every song comes as a compelling confessional, set to a glorious pop pulse. Described as raw and too honest, every self-reflection has never sounded so sweet or entrancing.
“Power through vulnerability” is a theme that courses through Queen Of Hearts, although Sahara didn’t realise it until the songs sat side by side.
Confiding in her craft, she’s found strength in her flaws and wears them proudly.
“Being honest can get me into trouble a lot but I can’t really be any other way,” reveals Sahara. “Songwriting definitely does help me understand, process and move on from things and thoughts.”
Sahara will play at Sooki lounge on 1 November.
