Following the romantic nostalgia of ‘corvette’, this new song takes her artistry to new heights, setting the stage for what promises to be a significant chapter in her burgeoning career.
The inspiration for this catchy and uplifting track comes from the coming-of-age TV series “Heartstopper,” and SAPPHIRE masterfully encapsulates the whirlwind of emotions that accompany new love. With her powerhouse vocals, she effortlessly navigates the emotional spectrum, from passionate yearning during separation to the impulsive desire to conceal true feelings. ‘crisis’ is an expressive and relatable single that immerses listeners in the rollercoaster of emotions that come with budding romance.
As SAPPHIRE reflects, “I was watching season 1 of ‘Heartstopper’ when I had the first idea for ‘crisis’. The lyric ‘having a crisis’ was circling my brain and I couldn’t sleep that night. Luckily, I had a studio session the following day… ‘crisis’ was created so fast because it was so fresh in my mind, and I literally spent the entire day in the studio smiling and squealing with excitement about it. I really wanted this song to feel like your main character moment, the opening track to your movie…so hopefully it makes you feel that way!”
SAPPHIRE‘s collaboration with esteemed producer Alex Stacey and mixing engineer Alawn results in a record that’s euphoric, charming, and emotionally resonant. ‘crisis’ deserves a place in your favorites with its infectious melodies and captivating vocal delivery.
