Sarah Walk stammt aus Minneapolis. Ihr Debütalbum „Little Black Book“ war ein absoluter Indie-Erfolg und bescherte der jungen Amerikanerin viel Aufmerksamkeit und begeisterte Pressestimmen. Die Mischung aus schweren, wütenden Texten sowie einer gewissen Düsterheit auf der einen und den leichten Piano-Klängen und der schwebenden, androgynen Stimme auf der anderen Seite zog viele Hörer zurecht in ihren Bann. Themen wie gleichgeschlechtliche Liebe und Gender Equality hatten in ihrem Leben und Schaffen von Beginn an eine prägende Rolle. Sarah Walk ́s aktuelle Songs zeigen, dass sie es ebenfalls versteht sich auch moderne, elektronische Klänge grandios zu eigen zu machen.
“Brooding vocal delivery that recalls Feist” The Sunday Times (Breaking Act)
“Blew my mind when I heard it…beautiful and compelling. One to watch.” Lauren Laverne, BBC6 Music
“…deeply moving and bittersweet, with uplifting bouts of melodic brilliance and gorgeous interplay between strings and cathedral-echo piano. It's lush and oozes a classic charm; it's timeless.” The Line of Best Fit
“Those who’ve had the privilege of watching her play live alongside her band can testify to Walk’s phenomenal skills on the keys and powerful vocals” Wonderland
“…haunting and emotive” Metro
“A visceral, poignant work” Clash Magazine
A graduate of Berklee College of Music (alumni includes St Vincent, Aimee Mann, Melissa Etheridge among others), Walk grew up in Minneapolis but has spent much of her time living between Los Angeles and London. She worked on her debut album ‘Little Black Book’ with Laura Mvula & producer Steve Brown. However, ‘Another Me’ sees her break free of the shackles of expectation, rising to the occasion as a fully formed writer and co-producer, with a courageous message of defiance. “The songs on my first album were a means to survive the immediate, and my songs on this album have been a journey in learning how to take up space and thrive in the long term.”
