Melbourne-based singer/songwriter Sarah Kabbani creates music that feels like its natural home is the big stage. Her latest tune, “Losing You,” is about to hit the airwaves. It’s an intoxicating mix of pop, dance, and indie-electro elements. We’re thrilled to be premiering it ahead of its release on Friday.
“Losing You” is an absorbing tale of being in love with someone already accounted for and about the thrill and heady trip of this ill-fated liaison. It oozes sensuality and is also triumphant for the protagonist, who finds the strength to walk away and move on. So yes, it’s an emotive tale, which is captured exquisitely by the vocals and lush beats that pull you in. Sarah’s vocal style is reminiscent of Tones and I, with a soulful edge to them. We should all be dancing along to “Losing You” at an outdoor festival this summer.
About the track, Sarah told the AU: “‘It explores the bittersweet tension of letting go of an intoxicating love that’s destined to remain unfulfilled. The song captures the heart-wrenching experience of being with someone behind closed doors who is already in a relationship, highlighting the thrill and danger of a connection that feels both irresistible and forbidden.
The creation process began with an upbeat EDM foundation, but as we delved deeper into the emotional landscape of the lyrics, the vibe shifted to a darker, more introspective tone. This transformation allowed us to craft a sound that resonates with listeners, combining infectious beats with heartfelt storytelling.
This track is not just about losing someone; it’s about the strength it takes to walk away from something beautiful yet unattainable. Join me on this journey of love, lust, and letting go.”
Sarah is a self-taught musician, and has been releasing singles since 2016. She’s drawn influences from pop, dance and indie electro, and with her own unique vocals, is creating tunes that have a grandness and exciting depth to them. Here’s hoping that we hear more from her in 2025.
