The keen reader might remember Sage Phoenix, talented young artist from Longview, Texas. Not long ago, we featured her previous single ‘Without Your Love’, proudly declaring: “it’s a euphoric, delicate, and deeply personal track from a seriously skilful artist”. Now, Sage Phoenix is ready for a bigger release, unveiling a deeper and more personal side to her artistry.
‘Forever’ is the project’s latest EP, a collection of 4 tracks encompassing themes of love, resilience and growth. Championing a modern sonic outlook based on commercial electronica and R&B tinges, Phoenix showcases her songwriting prowess, able to craft songs that feel relatable and intimate, while keeping the music side interesting and exciting.
Introduced by title-track ‘Forever’, the record jumps into upbeat and bubbly territories, echoing synth-pop influences in the process. ‘Angel’ sees Sage Phoenix teaming up with Syauqi Destanika for a heart-wrenching, lovable ballad. ‘Make You Mine’ exudes empowering energy, while ‘’Without Your Love’ brings the record to a close in poignant fashion.
The production behind ‘Forever’ is the result of a collaboration between some of the best producers and composers in the industry, resulting in an array of cinematic textures and powerful instrumentals that perfectly accompany the EP’s lyrical landscape. Pretty impressive.
