Having established herself in a few years as one of the most flamboyant figures in the contemporary music, the American singer and pianist Sarah McCoy is back her new album HIGH PRIESTESS. Recorded with veteran producer Renaud Letang (Feist, Keren Ann, Charlotte Gainsbourg…) and under the benevolent wing of Chilly Gonzales (known for the intimate touch of his Solo Piano albums and his collaborations with Jarvis Cocker, Feist, Drake or Daft Punk), these new works mark a turning point for the accomplished singer-songwriter, whose powerful voice reveals painful cracks. Having fully-mastered the solo exercise of her first album BLOOD SIREN (2019), Sarah has evolved towards modern, electronic, even futuristic sounds that a whole new audience will discover, while keeping that visceral song-writing conviction brought to us straight from New Orleans and that earned her an instant adoption in the European jazz/blues scene. « I’m not sure anyone can define the “genre” of High Priestess, but it’s surprisingly friendly for the intensity of the music… It’s all about the atmosphere in which the songs were born. New Orleans is a very specific anomaly in the United States, and that’s where I nurtured this Blood Siren music that is both somber like a haunted bar at the bottom of the sea… and light like a head in the clouds. With the new album, it’s more like hands in the ground. When I sing High Priestess, I’m tackling something very different. It’s a dissection of my personal relationship with myself. » – Sarah McCoy If you close your eyes, you could hear Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Amy Winehouse HIGH PRIESTESS is the result of a close collaboration between the singer-songwriter and her producer Renaud Letang. It is at the beginning of summer 2021 that Sarah arrived at the studio with two years of melodies, beats, arrangements, sounds collected in the street and in nature, and even a poem Eat the Peach Until the Pit. HIGH PRIESTESS is an album to be experienced, therefore, to the core. Production JVS PRODUÇÕES Press DANIELA PINTO Tickets ---> https://ticketline.sapo.pt/evento/sarah-mccoy-high-priestess-69005
