New York-based Sarah Kinsley’s music evokes all the feelings. A classically trained yet intuitive musician, singer and producer, she explores doubts and dreams through her captivating, sometimes ironic alt-pop songs. Distinctive and atmospheric, she delves into the intimate and the expansive, the introspective and the cinematic. Narratively driven, there’s a dreamlike quality to her lyrics, while musically, she runs the gamut from hazy, alluring dream-pop to more adventurous leftfield pop.
Escaper, Sarah’s debut album, was released in 2024, following her introductory EPs: the near-instantaneous virality of The King (2021), the cinematic Cypress (2022) and the widescreen Ascension (2023). A vibrant collection of songs, Escaper was born from Sarah’s boundless desire to escape into portals and other realms. It saw the musician rejoicing in holding nothing back, with her love of all things experimental and raw reflected in her words and melodies.
In the spring of 2025, while riding in cabs and walking the streets of New York by night, inspiration struck again. A moment of realisation hit her imagination like a bolt of electricity—a feeling so cathartic it became the foundation for her returning single, Fleeting: a euphoric, pulsating and richly melodic dance-pop track. If Escaper was the sound of an artist getting a feel for where she might fit in, Fleeting is exactly that. A feeling. A freedom. A rush. A dance floor? An introduction to her next world.
