What's Next For Sarah

[Miguel]

I can't wait to hear this new song she's writing for the musical. I think it's obvious it'll be heart-wrenching

Just linked from her Facebook page - new song recorded at the Bridge School Benefit concert.

Thumbs Up for her new song.

I didn't want to create a new topic because we don't know the title yet, but Sarah is making a new Christmas song this year. From Facebook:

a great day at home writing for my new album and a little holiday song surprise xoxo,s

Maybe it'll be like "Space On The Couch For Two" with the students of the music school...

Like last year, there will be a video with the Christmas song, directed by Kharen Hill.

Here's the video for "Find Your Voice".
The song was written by Sarah and Pierre Marchand (and Ashwin Sood played the drums in it).

Well, it's an "okay" song for me, but I prefer the one that was released last year... maybe it's because it doesn't sound like a Christmas song to me.

At first I was like .. wait is this a Halloween video or an xmas video clip. When I realised Sarah wasn't really going trick or tricking pretending to be Christine from Phantom of The Opera, I was like 'Hmmm, not really that interesting is it?'. The one released last year was slightly better. This one was cheesy and had no real melody. I do realise that Sarah doesn't want to give out much of her creativity for 'such' projects but she could at least try. I didn't knew Marchand was behind it but I should have guessed it as there was no real edge. Ughh hope new music will do her justice!

I found the song to be light and sort of un-sarah for the moment. I know it is new and a Christmas song and well, not into it yet.

I already told K kinda what I thought about it, and it's basically what you guys said... It sounds nice, but it has a mainstream sound. Which I understand, seeing she releases it for a bigger/wider audience than her normal stuff. BUT I do think lyric-wise the song is stronger than the song of last year (and yeah, lyrics do the most for me since I'm a lyricwriter myself.. )

I was thinking about the name of the song ("Find Your Voice") and the fact that it's also the slogan of the school. To me, this is more a promo song for the school than a creative and artistic work. It was probably recorded fast so it could be released at time for the Holidays, maybe that's why the melody is a little bit dull.
Ellen and I both hope her next album will not sound like this.

Edit: I also have to keep in mind that "Find Your Voice" will not replace a song like "Wintersong", which is a sad and personal song. This is a collective track, associated with the students of the program.
