The track is the second single from the artist’s upcoming new EP test drive.
Following on from the engrossing, romantic journey that was ‘corvette’, exciting UK artist SAPPHIRE has switched lanes on ‘crisis’, showcasing a vibrant and danceable indie pop sheen that feels inspiring in its emboldening sense character and charm.
The track is packed full of contemporary pop appeal, oozing both style and substance thanks to its radio-ready hooks and melodies and the thoughtful nature of the lyrics. The track has passion at its forefront throughout and this is encapsulated by an energetic and fun vocal performance from the artist and the infectious appeal that dominates throughout. ‘crisis’ is a rollercoaster ride, with a narrative that explores longing and trying to supress your emotions in relatable, engaging fashion.
“I was watching season 1 of ‘Heartstopper’ when I had the first idea for ‘crisis’. The lyric ‘having a crisis’ was circling my brain and I couldn’t sleep that night. Luckily, I had a studio session the following day… ‘crisis’ was created so fast because it was so fresh in my mind, and I literally spent the entire day in the studio smiling and squealing with excitement about it.
I really wanted this song to feel like your main character moment, the opening track to your movie…so hopefully it makes you feel that way!”
