Fresh from touring with Eskimo Joe frontman Kev Temperly, Sydney / Eora indie-pop songstress Sarah Yagki is today announcing her forthcoming sophomore EP (out March 3), with the release of heartfelt title-track ‘I Love You, I Lied’.
Known for delivering intimate pop-edged stories, brimming with earworm melodies and powerful vocals, Sarah Yagki’s creative process is directly influenced by her own experiences with songwriting acting as a coping mechanism for her PTSD.
“I generally have trouble remembering and reflecting on moments due to my PTSD, and songwriting helps me process and articulate moments that I can’t compartmentalise in life,” Sarah explains.
“My EP’s central message is the process of loss, with the title-track exploring the sense of chaos that occurs after you lose people.”
Produced by Sarah Yagki and James Guildo at Obseen Recordings in St Leonards, the ‘I Love You, I Lied’ EP sees Sarah exploring new territories within her sound, drawing upon influences including Halsey, Avril Lavigne and Blackbear to create a popscape that is all her own.
Journeying through themes of loss - from the end of an intimate relationship, the loss of a close friendship, to losing oneself - Sarah’s five-track EP sees her make unflinching observations about personal relationships, connecting with audiences through brave vulnerability and striking melodies.
Gearing up for an extensive national tour from March until June, Sarah Yagki is revealing her sophomore EP ‘I Love You, I Lied’ on Friday 3 March.
