Sasha Sloan Signs To RCA Records/Columbia Records UK
18 April 2018 - Press releaseRising singer-songwriter Sasha Sloan has signed to RCA Records US and Columbia Records UK and is pleased to announce details of her debut EP, sad girl.
After emerging last Autumn, writing and appearing on several high-profile collaborations, Sasha released her debut single “Ready Yet”, which has amassed over 10 million streams on Spotify alone. Since then, she’s established herself as an artist to watch as she continues to release emotionally-rich, left-of-centre pop, such as her first release of 2018, “Normal.” Heralded by Billboard as a “catchy introvert anthem,” the track has already been streamed over 8.8 million times. Both “Ready Yet” and “Normal” are among the six tracks featured on Sasha’s debut EP, sad girl, available from today at http://smarturl.it/SSsadgirlEP
Along with “Ready Yet” and “Normal,” sad girl features the string-drenched “Fall,” the heart wrenching ballad “Here,” the equally vulnerable yet optimistic “Hurt,” and “Runaway.” “Runaway,” as Complex put it, “finds Sloan pouring her soul out over a melancholic backdrop as she deals with heartbreak.” The song alone has over 9 million streams on Spotify, while her catalogue has over 40 million streams to date.

“I wanted to put out a blueprint for who I am with this EP, because I’m still figuring it out. It’s definitely been scary at times, but it’s also been exciting to share these songs and hear how people relate to them,” Sasha says, “I’m so grateful for everyone’s support over these last few months and am excited to be a part of RCA and Columbia UK as I continue to grow.”
Says Peter Edge, Chairman and CEO, RCA Records; “We are thrilled to have Sasha Sloan join the RCA Records family. Her brilliant confessional songwriting and phenomenal melancholic vocal style represent a fresh, unique artistic vision and perspective. We’re looking forward to a very bright future together.”

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, April 20 at 10am EST here. Sasha will also support the alt-pop duo Oh Wonder on several dates of their summer tour.
