With a rich, resonant voice and smart musical instincts, Sasha March has really impressed me with her new single “Ten Days.” I must admit, this song was a slow burner for me. But slowly but surely, it got underneath my skin. Right now, I can’t seem to shake its impact, and I don’t want to.
Sasha hails from Adelaide but she now calls Sydney home. She started as a folk singer, and she hasn’t totally shaken off that influence. But this song takes the genre into a new, more dramatic place. I hear a little Florence and the Machine and even Marina and the Diamonds in her music. It’s exciting stuff.
“‘Ten Days is probably the most upbeat and lyrically straight forward song I’ve written,” Sasha explained. “It’s optimistic but maintains a dark yearning which always creeps in because it’s strangely comforting. It’s not only about falling in love with someone, it’s also about falling in love with places and the feeling of something … letting it consume you even though it will end, it might hurt, or you might get completely lost and never be able to quite find that same place or feeling again.”
She played a few shows earlier this month, and according to her Facebook page there’s more on the way. Watch this space!
