WE SAY

Let us introduce you to Manchester-born, London-based artist and writer Sacha, aka sxcha, who makes a striking solo debut with her debut ‘I Said’. Echoing the atmospheric soundscapes of London Grammar and The xx, this haunting cinematic blend of moody electronica and alt-pop melodies marks the opening of a bold new chapter. The first in a series of releases leading up to her debut EP, the track sees the artist switch from electronic music topliner to crafting her own solo material. With songwriting credits for labels including Anjunabeats, Armada and Another Rhythm and collaborations with Mason, her work has amassed over 500k streams, landed at #1 on the Upfront Club Chart, and received support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Kiss FM and BBC Introducing, alongside additions to Spotify’s Metropolis and Hot New Dance playlists. Released last week, ‘I Said’ would sound perfect on ethereal electronic and alt-pop playlists at DSPs and spins on specialist shows at Radio 1 and 6 Music. ‘I Said’ is a tantalising introduction to her sonic world – introspective, immersive, and quietly powerful.
