Sydney indie pop artist, Sarah Yagki returns with her first new music of 2022 as she expands her sonic territory with 'Wanted More' featuring R&B arrangements.
After a productive 2021 that saw Sarah release a string of singles built on honest songwriting, 'Wanted More' continues the young artist's momentum with her achingly-beautiful vocals attracting all the emotive feels."'Wanted More' is a song about the fear of repeating toxic habits in a relationship, both from the new partner and yourself," shares Sarah.
"It explores the uncertainty of diving into a new relationship, whilst past trauma, experiences and fears still linger.
"The process of making music started with me creating a chord progression that I then put a melody over.
"The melody for 'Wanted More' came from me trying to communicate in the simplest way to a partner how I am feeling throughout the journey of this new relationship.
"[The] 'I wanted more, I wanted more' [lyric] is both me saying that to myself and my partner. The lyrics are narrative-based, with verse one exploring what I fear I will do, and verse two exploring what I fear the partner won't do.
"Overall, 'Wanted More' is a song to help bring to light uncertainty."
Here, Sarah shares five albums she wanted more of/ wished never ended.
Billie Eilish - 'Happier Than Ever'
I was given this as a CD to listen to while driving, and being able to go through the album start to finish has been incredible. The order of the tracks are purposeful, with two particular tracks leading into each other that I didn't notice until listening to the album.The tracks range from soft and delicate, too loud and gritty, but all with intent that sound like Billie Eilish.
Chelsea Cutler & Jeremy Zucker - 'Brent ii'
This album is the second collaboration album from two of my favourite artists, and is a fantastic indie-pop album by the two.My personal favourite is Emily, with both artists singing on the track and the entire album is uplifting, lush and emotive.
Role Model - 'Oh, How Perfect'
This six-track mini album has some of my favourite tracks from the artist including 'That's Just How It Goes', 'Notice Me', and 'Say It First'. It is another collection filled with tension and release, and emotion and freedom throughout all tracks.
Maggie Lindemann - 'PARANOIA'
This is a different turn of the types of albums I listen to, with punk-pop inspired tracks by this powerhouse artist. Some favourites of mine are 'Different' and 'Crash And Burn'.
Eden - 'Vertigo'
This is my all-time favourite album, with all the songs still inspiring me in all contents of my music creation. 'Vertigo' is the largest album from the artist in terms of running time, and is electronic/ indie pop by the singer.Sarah Yagki plays an acoustic set supporting Airline at Fridays At The Alley (Sydney) 22 April before playing Yours & Owls Sundays at North Gong Hotel (Wollongong) 8 May.
