I caught Sasha Keable perform live at this years Sundown festival in Norfolk. Entering the main site, I arrived just time to see the Disclosure and Tinie Tempah collaborator perform on the main stage. It made for a nice ease back into the party spirit to cure our near-hangovers.
Sasha Keable’s sound is mainly synth led electronica with an impressive vocal laid over the top of each track. Performing tracks from her debut ‘Lemongrass and Limeleaves’ E.P, ‘Living Without You’ showcases her powerful vocal range and ‘Sweetest Talk’ takes influence from Jessie Ware’s soulful R&B sound. ‘Careless Over You’ creates the first sing-a-long moment with Sasha’s voice climbing over the rolling drum and synth beats.
It’s the collaborations with Zinc and Disclosure which get the biggest cheers and sing-alongs. ‘Only For Tonight’ pumps up the party atmosphere with air-horn sounds just in time for set closer ‘Voices’, with the crowd jumping and singing back every word.
Having already supported Katy B on tour and now being signed to Tinie Tempah’s Disturbing London label, a few more releases and Sasha Keable will soon enough become a household name in the electronic music world.
