Eora/Sydney-based alternative-pop artist Sarah Yagki is set to unveil her mesmerising new single ‘Alone’ – produced by Nico Scali (Loretta), mixed by James Guido (LAU, Jordan Fuller) and mastered by Klaus Hill (Masked Wolf, Diplo, Snakehips).
From its opening moments, ‘Alone’ invites listeners into the dark and cinematic world of Sarah Yagki. Blending grunge guitars, intimate vocals, and eerie synths, the track’s emotional undertones are balanced by the controlled tension, that propels into the chorus. Sarah’s impassioned melodies levitate above stratums of backing vocals, becoming mournful as the track intensifies, leading into its emphatic finale.
Sarah talks about the inspiration behind ‘Alone’: “‘Alone’ is about confronting the darkest parts of your mind, with the parts that hold the most hope. It’s about the duality of both wanting to keep pushing on when things get hard, and letting yourself go into your lowest state. Depending on the listener, ‘Alone’ acts both as a song that tries to find hope, and also a song that accepts that you are falling without a willingness to get back up.”
The song is accompanied by a music video directed and edited by Max Pasalic (BESTIES). The clip is shot on both digital and tape (Hi-8) and creates a mixed digital and analogue video. The video explores themes of isolation, desperation, and mania that is reflected in editing and animated performance by Yagki.
Previous releases have been widely embraced by triple j Unearthed and Australian community radio stations such as FBi Radio, 2SER, Southern FM and 4ZZZ. In the blogosphere, her tracks have been supported by the likes of Amnplify, The Music, The AU Review, Music Feeds, Livewire AU, AAA Backstage, Futuremag Music and Record The Resonance. Her music videos have also seen support from MTV Upload.
Born in Australia but staying true to her Lebanese heritage, Sarah is quickly showing her capability to write uniquely emotive songs, capturing the true essence of her songwriting subjects in her high-octane performances, taking cues from luminaires Joji, Billie Eilish and Jessie Murph.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
