Finding space to heal again: ‘Let Me Breathe’ from Makichi is a mysterious journey full of wonder

Posted on 26 November 2020

Makichi intrigue us all yet again on their latest alt-electro single named ‘Let Me Breathe’. The thudding knock-like sounds of a hammer smacking a wall is the start here what will certainly get you to sit up and take notice. With their band name meaning- Us-Who-What- they are a group that like to turn up the voltage of proceedings and be heard wherever they go.

The Iranian/French duo storm into the chilly lake of 2020, with a vibrating lightsaber of energies that Luke Skywalker would be proud of. The story of needing to get that extra fresh air after a traumatic time is woven all over their latest creation. Trying to let this pain go is proving hard as the dark ruins of current time loom larger over like a thunderstorm that won’t go away.

The vocals are magnificently portrayed with luster and there is haunting energy here as they want to laugh again but can’t right now until the healing process has finished its natural process. Sometimes this takes lots of time and might never truly go away. All you can do is find somewhere close to find that fresh air and brush off that stale air that has fragmented all over your tired soul.

With a chorus that is moody and brilliant, ‘Let Me Breathe’ from Makichi is a call from this talented couple for the world to calm down so that we can all get back into a relaxed state away from the tears, stress and heartbreak that has consumed most of us. All we can do right now is be around those that we trust and keep our hearts safe from more pain.

Hear this new track here on their Spotify and find out more on the Strasbourg based duo on their IG and Facebook.

Sarah Khatami returns with sweet cappella song ‘I Love My Sisters’

Posted on 17 August 2020

‘I Love My Sisters‘ is the latest song from rising young singer Sarah Khatami and this one has so much soul. This is a strong message that saunters into our hearts and shows love to all the sisters in the world.

Sarah Khatami is an Iranian American singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Sarah grew up surrounded by music. From her older sisters’ 90s’-00s’ R&B CDs, to her parents’ vast collection of Persian pop cassettes. Soon, she developed her own style that combined the soul of R&B vocals with the elaborate runs heard in Persian music. I love how honest Sarah is when she sings and her authentic style shines through like a guiding light.

After receiving an annual full-tuition scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Sarah formed her band, The Shirzans and received a BM in Songwriting.

Currently, Sarah is in the process of recording and producing her debut full-length album and this is an exciting time in this young singers life. ‘I Love My Sisters‘ is a beautiful ode to her sisters in her life and a message for all women in the world. Sarah Khatami sings with growing maturity and this is a singer that is going to be massive in the world of music. Her voice is too good and her style is perfect for the big time.
