Following a busy year in 2024, SABS is hot off the heels of her previous release ‘demons’, showing no signs of slowing down for the new year. Back with her latest single ‘justlikethat’, she looks set to turn heads with her defiant brand of noir-pop.
With a dreamy arpeggiator bringing the track to life, a sleek vocal line soon sets ‘justlikethat’ on its way across the airwaves. Leaning into the alternative sound, with a dynamic noir-esque sentiment, SABS sports reverb-laden vocals and sticky-spoken melodies on her emphatic new single. The single sports an exciting foreboding nature, luring you in with the luscious pop refrains, and keeping you close with the unique blend of lo-fi and alt-rock.
“I wrote ‘justlikethat’ while reflecting on a toxic relationship I got pulled into. I spent so much energy trying to make this person happy, even when it hurt me—emotionally and physically. Writing this song was my way of reminding myself that I don’t owe anyone my peace and that I have the right to put myself first. The production mirrors that journey—the verses feel raw and vulnerable, but when the chorus hits, there’s this confident, almost defiant energy with an edgy groove. I hope ‘justlikethat’ reminds you to protect your energy and empowers you to stand your ground—because we owe it to ourselves to choose ourselves, as often as we can.”
