On 15th August, Sarah Louise is set to release her new single, Place to Be. Written in 2021, Place to be is one of the most personal songs written by the Suffolk-based singer-songwriter.
Speaking about the song Sarah says “I was feeling completely overwhelmed… I pulled over in my car and watched the sunset. Something about that sky made me stop and breathe. I picked up my guitar and notebook, and the first verse just poured out. It felt like the start of something really special, but I never quite finished it… until now. Releasing this felt like opening the door to a sacred space. I hope people feel safe, seen, and gently held when they hear it. In the studio, it felt like we were creating something honest and unfiltered. His piano added this soulful stillness that gave the lyrics the space to breathe”
Earlier this year, a lovely fan from Woodbridge found the rough version of the song on YouTube and messaged Sarah Louise to say how much it meant to them. They said that it captured the essence of who she was as an artist and that encouragement was exactly what she needed to revisit the track, and make it the final version that you’ll hear today.
The stripped-back, piano-led track features the talented Aberdeen Wedding Pianist, adding an additional layer of warmth and depth.
