SAIAH is such an exciting artist who continually proves to show their natural ability to create music that possesses an amazing level of depth and versatility. This new record from the Arizona native presents a moody and dark aesthetic based on the production alone and this vibe is matched excellently by the subject matter of what SAIAH is singing about.
The opening line of, “I’ve been feeling cold, my heart is icy”, sets the tone from the beginning and effectively captures the emotion that is looking to be conveyed through listening to the track. The catchy hook and candid verses make this song a great listen and flexes the natural ability SAIAH possesses to create a memorable record.
The music video for this track is directed by Lucas O.M and it does an amazing job of beautifully capturing the darkness of the night which is exactly what the song seems to encapsulate. SAIAH has this energy about them that allows them to do a great job of effortlessly pulling in the viewers attention throughout the entire video. They still manage to do a great job of this even when they perform the entire opening verse with only their eyes visible through the mask they’re wearing. Everyone involved did an amazing job bringing this track to life and the video adds new depth to the song.
Overall this track is a great listen and has me excited to hear what SAIAH has planned for their next release. Listen to “5 minutes til dawn” by SAIAH Linked Below
