Nightmare by Sarah Anne Fernandez: Review
Sarah is often recognized for her Broadway-style singing, but there is no doubt that she can provide impressive vocals and range for pop music as well. With its unique atmospheric setting and immersive sense of appeal, ‘Nightmare’ provides a distinctive perspective on relationships, heartbreak, and breakups, with the emerging artist shining on the new release. Her new release is a dark electronic pop masterpiece with vindictive and empowering lyrics, making it feel like a modern Kelly Clarkson song. But make no mistake, this track has the idiosyncrasies that make it unique and ultimately effortlessly cool.
The song opens with a warm synth that swells into existence as a harpsichord-like patch plays an ominous line. Sarah utters a memorable melody that dips into various parts of her register, giving us a sneak peek at her vocal chops. The chorus arrives with touchy, meaningful lyrics that start small and then employ an anthemic beat drop halfway through. Sarah’s range is incredible, and her control is awe-inspiring, especially when she delivers runs. It channels all of the emotions and feelings that come with a breakup, both vulnerable and powerful, confident and insecure, all while feeling entirely real and captivating.
Sarah Anne Fernandez’s ‘Nightmare’ is an impressive second original single from this up-and-coming pop artist. With her powerful vocals, clever lyrics, and haunting melodies, Sarah is an artist to keep an eye on in the future. Her music style is influenced by some of the greatest pop artists of our time, and her unique take on their sound is sure to attract a growing following of fans who appreciate her storytelling and honesty.
