Sarah Jaffe, from Texas, weaves electro-soul into her acoustic folk music. One of her lyrics on her debut EP reads "I'm a testament to old and new," and that could never be more true. Her bluesy voice combined with acoustic pluckings created a unique indie sound that gave her credit in the music world. Jaffe burst into the music scene in the late 2000s, playing live shows and recieving recognition in several categories at the Dallas Observer Music Awards. Her initial EP, Even Born Again, dropped in 2008, and sent her spiraling into fame. She went on an international tour and was praised by American and U.K. press. She signed a deal with Kirtland Records in late 2009, and proceeded to release her official debut, Surburban Nature. In 2011, she released a home-recorded EP tited The Way Sound Leaves a Room, and then followed with The Body Wins in 2012. Her latest release has been Don't Disconnect, which came out earlier this year.
Sarah Jaffe started fairly acoustic, but in her latest album, she has turned to more electro-pop, infringing on some R&B. Her voice is suited perfectly for this, with her crooner tendencies and slight lilts in her syllables. She adds creative lyrics with meaningful themes into happy pop loads that make you ponder the true meaning of the song. Also being a self-proclaimed feminist, Jaffe projects her opinions in songs like "Shut It Down" and "Lover Girl". Other songs, like "Vulnerable", reveal some of her darker relationships she's had in the past. All in all, I respect her as a person immensly. Her music is very classic, I think even if you heard it on the radio a bunch, you wouldn't necessarily get tired of it, unlike a lot of things that
are on the radio right now.
