Sadie Horler – Washed Up Mermaid
Sadie Horler - Washed Up Mermaid
Release Date: 19th June 2019
Devon songstress Sadie Horler is
back (at last) with her superb new single ‘Washed Up Mermaid’ and it deserves
your attention for a number of reasons. Firstly, this is musically fantastic
but that was never in doubt. The picked acoustic guitar notes ping and pop with
gentle abandon like leaves on a breeze or jetsam on the new tide while subtle
violin notes weave them together. Seconly, Horler has a poetic style to her
lyrics that quietly demand your attention as she sings of “Shoes where shells
used to be” and “oh the wild angry seas, floating debris” – this is a song with
a clear message about pollution of our seas but that doesn’t stop it from being
beautiful in its form and delivery. Finally, the video (a first for Horler) is
a lo-fi but utterly perfect accompaniment to a song that should be heard far
and wide for both style and substance.
