Despite being inspired by the demise of a relationship, Saachi Sen‘s new single Don’t Say It is an upbeat pop track which is ideal for this transitional period from Summer to Autumn. With a summery pop thread running through, an insanely catchy chorus, shimmering instrumental flourishes, and Latin-inspired rhythms, there is so much to sink your teeth into.
The Mumbai-born Londoner collaborated with producer Sam Ellwood on her new single and explains the inspiration behind it.
“Don’t Say It comes from a gut feeling you get when something’s not right in a relationship, well before any outward signs. I wrote the ‘I don’t think you love me’ hook on instinct a few months before the worst breakup of my life, and didn’t touch it all that time, convincing myself it was in my head. Afterwards though I had the drive to finish it in a single recording session. It’s created a really novel contrast of in-the-moment choruses against verses in hindsight.” – Saachi Sen
Saachi Sen hasn’t been resting on her laurels during the global pandemic and lockdown. She reached the Semi-Finals of both the UK songwriting contest and the world-renowned International Songwriting Competition. She also reached the shortlist of Abbey Road’s ‘Topline’ Competition.
