What’s better than one incredible new song by Melbourne singer-songwriter Sannia? Two incredible new songs! That’s just what she serves up with her new double A-side single “Daylight + Better.”
I’ve had these songs on high rotation and I honestly can’t split them. Both showcase Sannia’s powerhouse vocals and equally affecting lyrics.
Sannia wrote “Daylight” on the way home from a big night with friends.
“I sort of had this weird semi-inebriated epiphany that I was head over heels for someone close to me, and in that same moment I realised he absolutely didn’t feel the same at all,” she recalled. “Like two ships passing in the night, or maybe a ship and a rowboat in my case.”
“Better” picks up after the dust settles, with Sannia determined to rebuild and move forward.
“I decided to release these two together because I feel like they’re one and the same, not just in terms of their production or both videos being centred around dance and movement, but the two songs were really two different responses to the same situation,” Sannia explained. “’Daylight’ was the initial, really vulnerable call out and ‘Better’ was the more defiant and explosive response.”
Sannia will play two shows to launch the single next month. Catch her at the following venues.
12 September 2019 – Workers Club, Fitzroy (18+)
14 September – Golden Age Cinema, Newtown (ALL AGES FREE)
