About:

Sabrina Trueheart is an artist who certainly lives up to her name. Navigating the waters of folk, pop and Americana, while weaving in psychedelic and jazz influences, Sabrina Trueheart is making all the right moves in her adopted state of New York. A jazz-trained guitarist, she spent her teenage years gigging at music venues surrounding her hometown of New Haven, Connecticut. After settling in New York in 2021, she released her first EP, Holding Onto Something Good, a short but sweet collection of all-acoustic, folk-pop demos. Immersed in the vibrant New York music scene, she has traveled up and down the northeast, bringing her songs to life with ethereal vocal harmonies and enduring live instrumentation.

Her latest single, “Soft” is a guitar-focused nod to 60’s and 70’s folk/rock songs, such as “Can’t Find My Way Home” by Blind Faith and “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin. The focal point of the song is the ethereal three-part guitar arrangement, featuring a fingerpicked nylon-string guitar, a stunning acoustic guitar in Nashville tuning to replicate the sound of a mandolin, and big, bright upstrokes on the nylon string guitar weaved throughout, to create texture and replicate the sound of glissandos on a harp. Underneath it all is a grooving bass line that draws inspiration from the sounds of 1970’s jazzy, mellow folk/rock. The guitar arrangement, which was recorded entirely with analog equipment, gives the psych-folk tune its vintage sound.
