Sabri - Actually, I Can (2022)

Hot on the heels of her single release ‘Broken Promises’, rising artist SABRI now releases her stunning debut 8-track EP Actually, I Can. Made up of stories about love, heartbreak and the ups and downs of relationships, the project is a glittering example of an artist in bloom with an outstanding vocal talent.

Speaking on the meaning behind the record, SABRI shares, “‘Actually, I Can.’ is about the phase I’m in as I enter my thirties. The days of insecurities and hardships are over. I grew as a woman and now it’s time to fucking shine and live the life I deserve. Actually, I Can. symbolises independence, growth, self-confidence and self-love.”

The project kicks off with her jazz-inflected 2021 single ‘Wish The Love Never Died’ which organically accumulated over 2.5 million Spotify streams. The track’s simple nostalgic hiphop beat gives SABRI’s raw vocals plenty of space to run and elevate the record as she captivates the listener. Next up is her recent single ‘Broken Promises’, led by dramatic piano chords. Slowing down the pace is the sensual third track ‘Ready’, which leans into the R&B world that heavily influenced SABRI’s entry into music. This leads us nicely into fourth EP cut ‘Falling Off You’, a bluesy soul number that further demonstrates SABRI’s ability to deliver delicious melodic hooks.
