Sarah Hickey is back with new single ‘Slow Burner’. Built around atmospheric instrumentation, the track features soft synths, gentle drums, plucky melodies and a hazy lead guitar line. These elements are combined into a gorgeous backdrop that balances contrasting bright and dark vibes. Further orchestration joins the music later in the song, building a more vivid soundscape. Sarah’s vocals are reserved and calm, confident in a very subtle way, but providing the listener with beautiful images of emotions with each line.
She adds, "Slow Burner is about leaning into your strengths and trying to avoid comparing yourself to others"
‘Slow Burner’ follows in Sarah’s recent run of singles that tease her upcoming debut album. The cork-based atmosphere has built a reputation for silky confessional and reflective tracks with a folk influence. Whilst spending time honing her sound in the studio, Sarah performs live both with her original music and supporting fellow musicians as a backing singer across Ireland.
