The much anticipated debut album from Bec Sandridge is finally here and look, if you’re looking to be completely swept up in some bold pop sounds, Try + Save Me is going to be just the ticket.
Off the back of numerous single releases, Sandridge’s debut arrives with striking confidence. The material on the album is honest, jarringly self-aware and slightly humorous in its appeal and delivery.
Sandridge’s voice is one of the more unique in Australian pop circles, exemplified on tracks like ‘Eyes Wide’ and ‘Stranger’. She is the perfect guide to take the listener through the kaleidoscopic nature of Try + Save Me – an album that fuses Yeah Yeah Yeah vibes with Robyn, stopping momentarily at Kate Bush-territory, before careening piano-first into David Byrne eccentricity.
Bec Sandridge – ‘Stranger’
Just like the artist herself, Try + Save Me is beautiful, but shines with its proudly unique charm. Personality is a big thing on the record and when Try + Save Me sinks in after the first listen, you get a snapshot of where Sandridge is headed as an artist.
Properly ready to command her own stage and do music her own way, the individualism Bec Sandridge wraps up in her music is glorious. From ‘I’ll Never Want a BF’ to ‘Animal’, we’ve heard what potential existed, but when you give Try + Save Me a full run, you get properly introduced to one of Australia’s best pop gems.
Best get introduced before Bec Sandridge’s tour kicks off this month.
