SASAMI has announced a new album, Blood On The Silver Screen, the follow-up to 2022’s Album Of The Week Squeeze.Since her last effort, Sasami has teamed up with J Mascis for a new version of “Tried To Understand,” guested on Winter’s “Good,” co-produced King Tuff’s Smalltown Stardust, and released the single “Honeycrash,” which will appear on Blood On The Silver Screen.
Today, she’s sharing the album’s opener: a dance-pop bop called “Slugger.” It comes with a video directed by Crystalline Structures Studio.Opening up about “Slugger,” SASAMI says: “I wanted to be more playful and communicate more with pop culture.
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.” SASAMI also unpacked her thought process around making her pop-minded new album, which comes co-produced by Jenn Decilveo and Rostam.
