SADIE’S DEBUT EP “WAITING FOR THE
MOMENT” DROPPED DEC 6TH
MUSIC AND PRODUCTION BY TED MASON (OF “MODERN
ENGLISH”)
New York based
indie pop vocalist Sadie debut EP Waiting
For The Moment was released Dec 6th, 2011. For this singer/multi-instrumentalist the
moment is now with six songs inspired by 60’s girl group pop and updated with a
modern singer/songwriter radio flair led by the single “For All That You Do.” Packed with melodies and hooks, Sadie’s
EP features songwriting, instrumental assistance and production from Ted Mason known for his work as a
member of multi-platinum group Modern
English (Melt With You) as well as president of Mi5 Recordings. Truly
a New York story Sadie initially met Mason while working as a Maitre’ D at a
popular west side eatery that Mason frequented.
Sadie recalls,
“we became friends and around that time I was touring as a backing vocalist for
La La Brooks of The Crystals (Da Doo Ron Ron) and we bonded on our
love of music. He kept saying ‘I
gotta work with you’ and one weekend I went snowboarding with friends and when
I came back he wrote the skeletons of all of the songs that are on the EP for
me.” Mason says of the project “I
get a thrill out of developing and working with new artists. I have known Sadie
for years and I had time between projects to jump in and give her a creative
hand in developing a unique recording, which I hope will bring her lots of
success…”
Recorded at an
energetic pace in seven days at the Cutting Room NYC, the songs benefit from a
live spontaneous feel. Speaking on
the debut EP Sadie says “The lyrics are cheeky and flirty for the most part.
They are about living life, letting go and enjoying the ride,” says The Beatles
fan. These inhibition free qualities are at the forefront on the EP’s title track.
The EP also includes “Gothenburg” a trippy song about
walking through that Swedish city. She recalls, “in late June the sun doesn’t set until 10:15pm and then
rises at 4:15am. It messes with
your internal clock because it feels like night but the sun is shining and if
you are a foreigner you tend to fall into a trippy confused state.”
With a childhood that spanned time in Germany, Washington State and
Virginia, Sadie’s passion for music led her to take vocal lessons, viola and
piano during her formative years. Sadie earned a degree in musical theatre at Indiana University and has a
deep background in classical music. Sadie has begun to play shows through NYC and Brooklyn with a live band
playing material from the EP.
