Timeless piano-pop shines light on the power of self-belief, relationships, and inner strength, as Sara Rego and Tiago Freitas deliver the boldly honest yet inspiring duet Stay.
An impassioned and uplifting debut from Sara, Stay follows a mild country-pop set-up of easy piano and humbly-mixed fingerpicked strings, through a back and forth conversational flow, which seamlessly unites poetic reflections and personal, intimate thoughts on life and the overcoming of struggle.
We begin with the central concept of the song, ‘I won’t give up’ resounding softly amidst a near-acoustic ballad arrangement. We then progress through largely empowering lyrics and melodic builds, as the central theme of Stay seeks to remind us of the power of unity, togetherness, love, and appreciating the little things in life.
There is brief mention of darker days, of feeling alone, ‘My heart is heavy like a stone’, but always the song resolve to this sentiment of feeling complete and content when you’re with someone who matters deeply to you. The power to make each other smile, to bring happiness to one another, rings loud and is quick to brighten the mood of the room.
Nostalgic yet crisp and standing tall on the unique vocal identity and poetic writing of our two artists, Sara Rego and Tiago Freitas connect with listeners in an instant, through the calming euphoria and sentimental warmth of Stay.
