LISTEN TO STILLNESS
.

In strong contrast to her upbeat and decadent single Kryptonite, and off the back of her sass-filled season of Bite Club with Briefs Factory International, Sahara Beck slows and surrenders to pure vulnerability in Stillness.
Finding solace in co-writing with her friend Alex Henriksson (Matt Corby, Budjerah, Jarryd James), and produced by familiar force-of-nature Tony Buchen (Mansionair, Courtney Barnett), Sahara penned Stillness to describe the impactful reality of how her panic attacks begin, evolve and take over, comparing the feelings to being trapped in a heavy traffic jam.
Sahara’s feverish delivery of lyrics and melody in the verses (traffic on the street, traffic in my mind, traffic in my soul, this street’s gonna swallow me up whole, this street’s gonna swallow me up whole), transitions into the soft and dreamy freefall of surrendering to her feelings in the chorus – the comparison mimicking the push/pull, hot/cold, round and round journey of working on your mental health.
“I really wanted those heavy guitars in the chorus to accompany the soft, calm singing, the guitars are the (traffic) noise that were once overwhelming, but in juxtaposition to the kind of meditative vocal I was going for, they become like a soft cushion surrounding me.”
Although the track is soaked in feelings of overwhelm and fragility, Sahara’s ability to spin sadness into bliss, and weakness into wonder, overarches the entirety of the track and really is no surprise – quite simply, it’s her gift.
Stillness is out March 4 2022 via Believe.

AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
