Sasha Keable

British/ Colombian songstress Sasha Keable is an amalgamation of references that
came before her time, and that of the present and future and a holistically procured
British vanguard. Having spent the last two years wedded to the studio, Keable is
confident and poised when translating her experiences. “I’ve recorded so much [over
the years], that I have about three projects ready to go,” she says. Rooted by a mantra
of consistency in this phase of her life, the studio became one of the only places that
Sasha Keable felt like she had control over. Trusting her voice, work ethic and her pen,
she, as she puts it, “put her head down”.
Eager to soul search and ultimately get back to the art without formal expectations,
Keable found a renewed sense of inspiration both at home, but also in L.A carrying out
a series of trips to the region, across 2022 and last year, her songwriting growing
tenfold as a result of it. “I think I learned to be present. How do I feel about this song?
I'm never thinking too far into the future now. Too often earlier on in my career, I was
focused on the end product and what others would think about it. I’m never gonna be
someone else,” she explains. A testament to her elevation in this terrain can be
observed across her work with Destin Conrad. Formally bridging their online relationship
to IRL, Sasha Keable put pen to paper on his second instalment of his Submissive
series, co-writing “It’s Only You”, “War!” and “Life Been Lifin’” in Mexico. Describing the
experience as “amazing” it reinforced the evolution in her penmanship and abilities of
understanding others and seeing, then documenting their experiences in real time.
Upcoming releases like “Auction” are a bonafide example of Sasha Keable’s conviction
across subject matters. “It’s so funny because when I write songs about sex, I'm
definitely getting more comfortable discussing it now.” Working with friends and
collaborators kwn and Joel Compass, kwn in particular helped urge her comfortability
here “liberating” Keable’s experiences now canvassed for the masses. Lucid, tranquil
but still urgent, the subdued R&B number quickly allures the listener, evocative piano
keys running alongside Keable, and guest feature Destin’s whimsical runs. Utilising an
ideal balance of tongue-in-cheek and matter-of-fact, both race between commands for
their sexual partners to drop draws, bid the highest in auctions and not let either of
them down. “We ain't no strangers,” Sasha warns. Crafting a bonafide new-age
seductive home run, Keable also embraces her sexuality, as “Auction” is one of the
inaugural releases where she utilises women as her sole and only love interests.”It’s

going to be so interesting to see how listeners take to this one,” she reflects. However,
she’s ready for the reactions to come, now in a place of solace in regards to sexuality.

But her latest single “Hold Up” still pays tribute to her past eras, confrontational,
menacing and foreboding, the Charlie Pitts, Kent Azares & Engine-Earz crafted sonics
bellicose and relentless in delivery. The horns provided by the trumpet add a traditional
jazz feel to Sasha Keable’s comeback single, fusing to the richly built components of
both soul and gospel, as the singer confronts a spell of cheating, removing her lover
from her life without reason. “So if you think I need you get that out your head // Cus I’ve
held my own for so long,” she croons, the extravagance of her deeper register laid bare
for audiences worldwide. A marriage of veterans like Lalah Hathaway with the new age
grit and personality that’s come to define a millennial generation, Sasha Keable arrives
refreshed and critical to a new-age legion of listeners.
Already popular across social media, garnering close to half a million streams in under a
month of release, “Hold Up” provides ample example of Sasha Keable’s might as one of
the most promising contemporary British artists in 2024. “I’m now on this path of just
being the truest version of myself that I can be,” she reflects. Now signed to Flight Club
Records, the vocalist is turning over a new leaf, backed by quality, trust, her strongest
sense of penmanship to date, and ultimately a voice that continues to stand the test of
time.
