“An album infused with ethereal guitar lines, soaring vocal passages, and raw, emotive expressions”– WONDERLAND MAGAZINE

A fragile and, at the same time, powerful energy is the overall signature of the new Sara Lew album, which is a result of the meeting between the experiences of her life in recent years and the musical primordial power that characterizes the very special universe of the Danish indie artist.

The album represents Sara Lew’s characteristic style, but at the same time has new delicate threads which move into the atmospheric, where bare acoustic guitar gives way to vocals and lyrics gaining strength in the recognizable scratches that crises and grief leave behind – and which you as the audience intuitively recognize. “LOUD” is Sara’s musical exclamation mark after a period when life simply overshadowed the music in all its raw reality and is about the big themes that characterize the life lived.

She says, “I have found strength and new creative power in my experiences as an adult woman, having struggled through the last few years. The very special vulnerability, combined with almost primal power, I hope people feel in their souls, when they meet LOUD”.

“LOUD” is about encounters with the past and with the unconscious taboos that Sara as an adult woman had to confront because, despite her powerlessness and grief, she insisted on being a role model for her children. And to take care of the love and care, which became her delicate light and strength, in the darkest moments; a light that gained warmth and flared up in a redemptive and playful approach to the creation of the album. “Therefore, the ambition with LOUD is also that I now reach out, despite vulnerability, in the meeting with the audience in the very special community and in the unforgettable magical moments that live concerts contain between the stage and the hall.”, explains Sara.

Born to an English mother and Danish father and raised in Roskilde, Sara Lew is aka Sara Lewis Sørensen is now living in Copenhagen. Sara is an electric guitarist, educated at the rhythmic Music conservatorium in Copenhagen.
