SASAMI has announced a new album, Blood on the Silver Screen, which will be out March 5 via Domino. She co-produced the album with Jenn Decilveo (Andra Day, Porridge Radio) and Rostam, and Clairo features on “In Love With A Memory.” Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Prince are among the inspirations she’s cited for this album.
“This album is all about learning and respecting the craft of pop songwriting, about relenting to illogical passion, obsession, and guiltless pleasure,” SASAMI says. “It’s about leaning into the chaos of romance and sweeping devotion—romanticism to the point of self-destruction.”
The album includes “Honeycrash” which was released back in May, and the new single from the album is the frothy, poppy “Slugger,” which comes with a video where SASAMI plays multiple members of a baseball team. “I wanted to be more playful and communicate more with pop culture,” she says. “When I listen to music, I think about how I feel, how I want to feel, how I want to move to it. And that’s what’s special about music—how it connects to culture, how it connects to different styles of music, how it connects to the timbre of the voice of the person singing it.” Watch the video below.
SASAMI will be on tour later this fall with Destroy Boys, Crawlers and Teen Mortgage, including a show at NYC’s Webster Hall on November 16.
