Sarah Petrella's music is intense, gripping and intriguing like a confrontation in a Quentin Tarantino film. Her latest release, Seasons, is exemplary in showcasing the cinematic qualities that make her folk rock so addicting. The opening single, "Dancing With The Devil," hits the ground running like a shoot-out, as Petrella's powerful vocals take the lead over monstrous electric guitar work. The third track, "Change," feels restrained until the song hits the chorus, losing control when it hits a heavy hook with the southern bell's steamy vocals, evoking a fiery passion. "
Remember Me" is a beautiful ballad loaded with a lush arrangement of strings, piano and mandolin that form spellbinding resonance. As the Seasons EP teases out provocative concepts of temptation and desire, this imagery culminates with the single, "Mr. Mystery," bursting with explosive theatrical instrumentation that supports Petrella's impressive vocal range. Last month, Petrella released the captivating video for "Mr. Mystery," now on YouTube. Closing Seasons, the title track is a soft and delicate gem encapsulating the cycle of life through the metaphor of seasons paired with a soothing acoustic melody. Love and longing are themes that navigate this collection of work as Petrella found inspiration in her own experiences in both. "I sing a lot about past relationships in these songs," Petrella comments. "Relationships that have left me feeling everywhere from revengeful, to miserable, and even stronger afterwards." The Seasons EP was recorded and produced at Echo Underground Studios by Dan Kalisher, known for working with
Jesse McCartney, Matthew Morrison, Megan & Liz and multiple contenders of the television show The Voice.
