Is there anything Shana Sarett can’t do? Skimming her biography, it is clear she was always meant to be a musical creative, exploring a wide range of references and roles. From her roots as an opera singer, to becoming a dynamic and tasteful DJ, to crafting stunning pop material: everything screams talent and dedication. Naturally, Sarett’s latest effort showcases the same qualities. ‘Cold in LA’ is one of Shana’s original records; leaving the DJ decks behind, she takes centre stage, providing us with a pop-flavoured gem that’s as intense as it is ethereal. In it, the listener will be met with an eclectic blend of electronica, balancing between mainstream and leftfield territories.
That’s perhaps Sarett’s most precious gift: by virtue of her long experience in the field, she’s able to deliver material that’s never obvious, clichès-free, while pursuing an authentic and personal style that says a lot about the nuanced and refined artistry so gloriously championed by the Californian newcomer.
Sonically, ‘Cold in LA’ keeps a rather dark outlook, building on drum-machine-infused beats and haunting synth lines. Sarett’s vocal fits their background perfectly, so precise yet evocative and expressive. The musical framework mirrors the record’s lyricism, exploring how memories are a fragile feature of human consciousness, so crucial yet so personal and opinionated.
