Sydney R&B artist Sarah Yagki is getting ready to release her new single, Wanted More, and it captures the uncertainty of entering a new relationship. Singing over cinematic strings and dramatic piano, it's a song that conveys Sarah's emotions in a way that'll resonate, whether you've been in their shoes or not. We're excited to be premiering the track right now!
Wanted More is Sarah's first release of 2022, and follows on from a strong 2021. Inspired by the likes of BANKS, Alessia Cara and FKA twigs, it's a track that turns the personal into the relatable, and if you've been in a similar position to Sarah, then it'll act as comfort. If you haven't, then it'll help you relate to those around you that are experiencing (or have experienced) similar uncertainty when heading into a new relationship.
Speaking about the track, Sarah explains, “Wanted More is a song about the fear of repeating toxic habits in a relationship, both from the new partner and yourself. It explores the uncertainty of diving into a new relationship, whilst past trauma, experiences and fears still linger.
"The process of making music started with me creating a chord progression that I then put a melody over. The melody for Wanted More came from me trying to communicate in the simplest way to a partner how I am feeling throughout the journey of this new relationship.
"“I wanted more, I wanted more” is both me saying that to myself and my partner. The lyrics are narrative-based, with Verse 1 exploring what I fear I will do, and Verse 2 exploring what I fear the partner won’t do. Overall, Wanted More is a song to help bring to light uncertainty.”
Check out Wanted More above. It's a track that deserves repeat listens, and we're looking forward to what Sarah has in store for the rest of 2022 and beyond!
