The album marks SASAMI’s follow-up to her 2022 LP Squeeze, which earned an 8.0 review from us here at Paste. “This album is all about learning and respecting the craft of pop songwriting, about relenting to illogical passion, obsession, and guiltless pleasure,” SASAMI says of Blood on the Silver Screen. “It’s about leaning into the chaos of romance and sweeping devotion—romanticism to the point of self-destruction.”
The announcement is paired with a new single, “Slugger,” that finds SASAMI name-checking Dolly Parton, Steve Lacy and Chopin while thriving in her classical music background through explosive, optimistic orchestration. “I wanted to be more playful and communicate more with pop culture,” she says. “When I listen to music, I think about how I feel, how I want to feel, how I want to move to it. And that’s what’s special about music—how it connects to culture, how it connects to different styles of music, how it connects to the timbre of the voice of the person singing it.”
