SASHA ALEX SLOAN
drops her latest album
I BLAME THE WORLD

.

.

Sasha Alex Sloan would like to start by saying, on the record, that she tried to make a different album before this one. Sasha felt compelled to create something new. “I wanted to make a folk album, because the past two years have been so depressing globally and personally,” she says. “I didn’t get to tour, or leave my house, after ONLY CHILD, so a folk record felt right.”

Until it didn’t. Citing how much “even I was bored by what I was making” with an ear-to-ear grin, Sasha says she scrapped the idea and let how she was feeling –despondent, isolated, apathetic, mad—dictate what flowed next. I BLAME THE WORLD is both an album and a declarative statement, she says, calling it a “honest, non-hopeful” album that lives alone in a world of entertainment meant to carry us through trying times.

Self-aware and often incredibly funny, I BLAME THE WORLD traffics in the sort of unserious seriousness only Sasha Alex Sloan has been able to perfect. Songs like ‘H8 Myself,’ ‘WTF,’ and ‘New Normal’ are layered and nuanced examples of her song writing at its finest; a breath later, ‘One Trick Phony’ —a standout —shows the world the pinnacle of what could’ve been had a similarly confessional songwriter like Sheryl Crow teamed up with a futuristic producer like Moby in the late ‘90s.

Written entirely by Sasha and her partner King Henry, with additional production by music legend Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Carrie Underwood, 50 Cent) and disco-pop wiz Stuart Price (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Dua Lipa), I BLAME THE WORLD captures the weary essence of the past, wraps it in the timelessness of the past and future, and ultimately ushers in a bold new era of musicality for Sasha Alex Sloan.
