Sasha Siem’s Path to ‘Holy’
Sasha Siem is changing her tune. “The first album was very much about me, and looking at my young contemporary female friends going through that coming-of-age process, what it’s like to find and lose love over and over again,” says the classically trained British musician, who releases her third album “Holy” on June 7. The long-haired brunette was in New York — where she began writing and recording “Holy” while living in Brooklyn — for 24 hours, and was set to return to London later that evening. “And the second album was almost operatic in its construction: a tale of two lovers and the epic narrative that they go through and falling in love, falling out of love,” she continues. “And then finally, with this album, it feels like it’s gone even further to be about the we, and the community aspect, and what are those elements of humanity or our existence that we all share.” The communal aspect is underscored by the literal tuning of her new album, which was recorded in 432Hz. (The previous albums used standard tuning.) The album is genre-defiant but leans pop, and Siem, who also writes music for orchestras, began working with the unconventional tuning while studyingFollow WWD on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.
