SASAMI unveils new single 'Just Be Friends'

With her eagerly-awaited new album set to land early next year, SASAMI has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Just Be Friends' follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Slugger' and 'Honeycrush' in previewing her new LP 'Blood On The Silver Screen', which is out on the 7th March via Domino.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “‘Just Be Friends’ feels like a really grown up continuation of themes/moods from my first two albums. I returned to some of the stream of consciousness, emotional lyrical writing style of my first album and kept riding the country wave that was in the fabric of Squeeze but with a bit more modern country influence. I love how country songs often tell a story. Longing, lingering, loneliness and lust. When I play this one live, I always dedicate it to anyone ‘sad and horny’ in the crowd… if that means anything.”
