On the EP, BB Sabina confidently navigates emotional struggle and personal enlightenment through the exploration of angst and release. Each track is an immersive experience, as her emotive lyricism encapsulates an intensity that is both warm and evocative.
BB Sabina displays her musical prowess and versatility throughout the EP, with each track displaying different levels of depth and moodiness, from the sincere balladry on Catharsis to the punchy guitar-driven tune Feast.
“The EP reflects on the creative process; inspiration, struggle and release,” says BB Sabina. “From the cathartic release I’ve experienced when songwriting, to the struggle that is involved in putting your art out there. And finally, the transcendent feeling that you can get when it all comes together, when the music hits you and you feel completely captivated for a moment.”
The charm of BB Sabina shines through in her captivating and immersive live shows, having previously performed alongside the likes of Tash Sultana and Ash Grunwald, as well as on stages at festivals including Wide Open Space, Darwin Fringe Festival and the Desert Song Festival. Performing both with her full band and solo on her upcoming Australian tour dates, she’s is gearing up for a busy second half of 2019.
