Paak), Roy Lenzo (Lil Sabrina also takes over as the sole writer, presenting the most complete portrait of herself as an artist and a woman.
Sabrina has this to say about the new album:
โIโm so beyond proud of this evolution that is โBased On A Feeling.โ The intention behind creating the album and the energy that was exuded in every session can be felt throughout each song. After a two year unanticipated break from writing, caused by various discouraging experiences that halted my desire to create, I managed to find the motivation to get back in after having a conversation with someone on my team. Not only did this conversation spark my ambition, but it also titled the album. โBased On A Feelingโ stems from the promise I made of only making decisions based on a feeling of love and pure intentions. I took this idea and allowed it to guide me through the creative process of this album in every single aspect and I could not be more fulfilled with the final result.โ
The 11-track album was announced accompanying a lovely and seductive music video for the new single โDonโt Make Me Wait.โ Before harp glistens, Sabrinaโs voice barely registers above a whisper with a command, โKiss me, Iโm in need of assurance.โ
Based On A Feeling is Sabrinaโs first new music since her 2020 holiday album Christmas Blues, an eight-song collection featuring The Weeknd and Alicia Keys and featuring Sabrinaโs favorite holiday songs.
Sabrina organized a listening session in Los Angeles ahead of the release of Based On A Feeling, where fans received a sneak peek of the album in Dolby Atmos sound. It was sold out in just 10 minutes.
Sabrina Claudio is quite clear about what she wants. To some extent, the platinum-selling Puerto Rican/Cuban diva blames her strong instincts on her Virgo zodiac sign, but the truth is that she discreetly hustled to establish her vision. She confidently expresses sensuality, energy, and soul beyond limits in her music after a series of critically acclaimed productions, sold out headline tours, and 2 billion streams.
But sheโs always taken her own route. Sabrina began to captivate audiences with her 2016 first EP, Confidently Lost, which featured a DIY take on alternative R&B. Following it, the full-length About Time yielded the gold-certified โBelong to Youโ (feat. 6LACK), and 2018โs No Rain, No Flowers kept her momentum going with a sold-out headline tour. With Truth Is, Sabrina achieved new heights in 2019.
Complex praised it as โgrandiose,โ while Variety called it โone of the top albums of the genre last year chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier chevalier cheval Sabrina released Christmas Blues to round out the year, rethinking the holidays through a sultry lens with a little help from The Weeknd on the title track and Alicia Keys on โWinter Time.โ Sabrina sold out an expanded vinyl version of her debut album About Time twice in 2021.
Sheโs appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and James Cordenโs Late Late Show, as well as Coachella, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Life Is Beautifulโs lineups. On her 2022 project, Based On A Feeling, she takes the reigns as the only writer and paints the clearest portrait of herself as an artist and as a woman (Atlantic Records).
