'Soon' Artwork Final

Letter about the final artwork...

Hello lovely backers,

Wow, what a whirlwind it’s been! First and foremost, I wanted to extend a massive thank you to each and every one of you for your enthusiastic participation in the artwork voting process for the track “Soon.” Your engagement and support mean the world to me, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your involvement.

Now, onto some exciting news! We received the music video for “Soon” last night, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely magical. After much deliberation and consideration, we’ve decided to take a slightly different route with the artwork. Instead of using any of the options we voted on, we’ve opted for a still from the video itself. 

But fear not, dear backers! Your efforts in voting for the artwork certainly won’t go to waste. We’ve earmarked the winning designs for another track release later this year, so stay tuned for that!

In the meantime, I’m thrilled to announce that the next track is now available for pre-order! You can pre-save it right now by clicking here. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share more music with you all very soon.

Sending you all heaps of love and gratitude,

Saskia ❤️

Imagination Baby

Saskia Griffiths-Moore Announces Upcoming Release of New Single, ‘Imagination Baby’ – Coming February 24th, 2024

London, UK – February 24th, 2024 – Folk music sensation Saskia Griffiths-Moore is thrilled to announce the forthcoming release of her latest single, ‘Imagination Baby,’ set to drop on February 24th, 2024. This upbeat folk-country classic marks the beginning of a year filled with authentic, all-acoustic ‘real music.’
​
In a musical landscape often dominated by electronic and artificial sounds, Saskia Griffiths-Moore remains steadfast in her commitment to preserving the beauty of live, acoustic performance. ‘Imagination Baby’ was meticulously crafted through live, full takes with a top-tier acoustic band, recorded in the tranquil seclusion of a Polish forest. Saskia’s mission is clear: to ensure that the track sounds identical in both live and recorded versions, underscoring her dedication to the essence of real music.

Next Up: Soon

Coming on march 29th! Recorded and filmed at Abbey Road Studios with a choir of Talent Is Timeless members we present the song and music video for ‘Soon’.

Title: Santa Monica
Author: SaskiaGM
Rating:   (8.15/10) – 33x rated
Views: 882
Description: Co-write Peter Zasuly

Intro: C F C G
The beaches are crowded
There’s salt in the air
The view from the cliff’s
Is like nowhere

Chorus: F C F C Am G F – Fm
Santa Monica is all about fun
People come looking for the sun
But underneath the urban glow
Some are struggling to grow

Verse 1: Am Em F C Am G C
Harry is out on the streets coz he lost
His job and his life to rocketing costs
He’s searching to find the missing piece

A memory buried deep in his mind
A bottle or two to pass by the time
He barely remembers how to breathe

Chorus

Verse 2: Am Em F C Am G C
Pour through the door and sit in the chair
The men love Christine as she cuts their hair
Taking the wrong one every time

Life is a struggle working to live
Her dates on the weekend’ve nothing to give but,
Still she gets dressed up for Friday night

Bridge; Dm C G x2, F C F C C/B C
Paradise ain’t always pretty
You roll the dice in this city
Take a Bentley for a spin down Ocean Blv.
Or the train down Broadway to your job to stay afloat

Love this. Good melody and lyrics. Initially I thought it perhaps needed something more in terms of production, but now I’m wondering if it might have more impact with just voice and guitar.

Love the rhythm and vocals

This song just about made my top 10. I think an increase in tempo would give it a 60’s California vibe. Add some congas and bass with a flourish of acoustic guitar would give it that air of sunshine and freedom that we associate with California.

But underneath the urban glow
Some are struggling to grow
Lovely lyrics – and a terrific change at this point.
The right backing instruments – percussion throughout and maybe a reed instrument in the chorus – and Santa Monica’s your auntie.

“Santa Monica is fun” suggests the song should be more up tempo, but the lyric has a twist and takes a dark turn – clever. Possibly a little Latin feel in the chorus with a return to a darker feel at the end.

My favorit song, so caching. The melody is really nice and love the lyrics. After listening the song the melody stays in my head.

A lovely song, and one for the “unplugged” version of the album.

I love this place and the song. I like the song’s juxtaposition of a sunny fun-filled paradise with the reality of the struggles that lie beneath the ‘urban glow’. My only criticism is that I’d change the lyric ‘Santa Monica is all about fun’ to ‘Santa Monica masquerading as fun’ (or isn’t all about fun). The reason I’d change it is that the contradiction jars for me to say ‘it’s all about fun, but hey not really’. I’d also be careful if this makes the album not to get sucked into an east coast Latino vibe with the arrangement / production and go for a west coast feel. The song lends itself to the Latino feel, but don’t be tempted !
