SASAMI’s newest album, Blood on the Silver Screen, was released on March 7th. The pop album consists of 13 songs and is 41 minutes of pure vibes. In a quote on her Spotify page, SASAMI said, “This album is all about learning and respecting the craft of pop songwriting, about relenting to illogical passion, obsession, and guiltless pleasure. It’s about leaning into the chaos of romance and sweeping devotion—romanticism to the point of self-destruction.”
Ever since SASAMI’s album was added to our current rotation, I’ve become a little obsessed, so much so that I’ve had her on repeat in my personal playlist. There’s something about her sound that feels fresh yet deeply nostalgic, blending raw emotion with polished production in a way that’s impossible to ignore. A few tracks, in particular, have completely taken over my listening habits: "Nothing But Sad Face On" with its moody, introspective lyrics and hypnotic melody, "Slugger" for its unexpected edge and infectious energy, and "In Love With a Memory" (featuring Clairo, another artist we’ve played on air!), which is just beautiful in its simplicity. What I love most about this album is how versatile it is, there are songs that make you want to dance, others that hit you right in the feels, and plenty of tracks that are perfect for zoning out or winding down. It’s a fantastic snapshot of where pop music is right now: genre-blurring, emotionally honest, and unafraid to experiment. SASAMI’s ability to balance vulnerability with bold, dynamic production makes her stand out in a crowded landscape. Whether you’re in the mood for something dreamy, something gritty, or something that toes the line between both, this album has it all.
