Sarah Macintosh

Sarah Macintosh writes songs that feel like conversations. Her track 'Current' has that quality - a directness that pulls you in without much fuss. She put out her first album 'Echoes' in 2016, and the follow-up 'Current' a couple years later gave her a bit more attention.

Her lyrics tend to circle around personal territory, things like mental health and family. You can hear it in songs like 'Father' and 'Just Tell Me.' There was some noise in 2018 about similarities between her song 'Solace' and another artist's work, which she said was just coincidence.

She's done some work with mental health organizations since then, but mostly she keeps writing. The songs on her list - 'Did You Know,' 'More Than Hands' - have that same unadorned quality, like she's working something out in real time.
