UAE producer and artist Sarah R Jay continues her climb. Having fiercely established herself as one of the EDM scene’s most passionate and skilled producers, Sarah proceeds to branch out artistically, with a series of singles conceptually devoted to a heartfelt cause. In this case, the vocalist and pop-techno producer devotes her creativity to the strength, spirit and sorrow of Native American People.
Instantly evocative and emotionally raw and genuine, Shadows of the Brave acts as a tribute to the many voices that were never heard, and to the ‘earth-bound wisdom that was once targeted for extinction, yet continues to whisper through the winds of time’. Sarah’s connection to Native Americans is inherent in her own ancestral roots, through her maternal grandfather’s heritage, and as such, the clear passion and presence of this release resounds as authentic and immersive.
Featuring the now classic melodic-techno approach of Sarah R Jay, Shadows of the Brave pairs piano and dance rhythms, with Sarah’s unmistakable voice at the forefront. The song emerges complete with a set of visuals that pay equal tribute to the ideas and historical depth of the topic, and as the melody evolves and uplifts, the song’s brightness and message rings louder still.
Melodically intoxicating, with an instrumental drop that’s both beautiful and distinct, this is easily one of Sarah R Jay’s most concise and recognisable original tracks. The fact that its sense of purpose is so poignant and mighty is merely the icing on the cake, and what’s more, this release is just one from an upcoming and highly-anticipated six-track EP. We’re gifted both the full vocal version and the solo piano take, as ever, and Sarah R Jay delivers an enchanting and euphoric melody and groove, for the blissful, well-titled, and conceptually crucial Shadows of the Brave.
