SAADI – “Hollow Body”
LA based Boshra AlSaadi, better known as SAADI brings us her latest single, “Hollow Body.” An artist and musician several times over, this is her first solo release since her 2020 self-titled album. Written with friend Chris Coady, it was, of all things, inspired by… Cyndi Lauper? SAADI had this to say:
“The initial inspiration was Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” but it soon took on a life of its own, especially after I added the Stratocaster guitar rhythm track.”
The track itself is a synth and/or bass affair (I’ll explain later), with the occasional rhythm guitar popping up for some added zest. I’m really bad (or synths are really good) at picking out string vs. synth sometimes, but there’s a particular tone that’s littered throughout (you can hear it most in the first 45 seconds of track). That one? Yeah you can hear it. Love that. I’m gonna go synth… I think? Regardless, you’ll find yourself bopping along with SAADI during this delightful indie pop track.
You can hear “Hollow Body” below from SAADI’s Bandcamp, or over on Spotify if that’s your jam.
