SSNA – Shambles [Single]

Discovering SS N A‘s (pronounced “su-nay”) “Shambles” five months after its release feels like stumbling upon a hidden gem. SSNA, with her airy vocal touch, brings to life the deep-seated feelings of longing and vulnerability, backed by a moving instrumental.The arrangement, somber and stripped-back, puts more emphasis on SSNA‘s vocals than ever before. Warm, harp-like tones and soft, plush drum beats lay the groundwork for the emotive narratives spun by the young NYC songbird. The structure of the music, with each element carefully placed, forms an enveloping atmosphere that deeply moves the listener. At first, the relative shortness of this number might just catch you off guard, but SSNA‘s openness conveys a lot of emotion in a short amount of time – providing a window into the tangled feelings of love and isolation. “Shambles” might not have gotten the attention it deserves, but its true-to-life stories and feelings are sure to stick with anyone who listens.
