SANNIA RETURNS WITH "LOVE YOU LIKE"

SANNIA

RETURNS WITH

“LOVE YOU LIKE“

Rising indie-pop artist SANNIA shares her first single since lockdown began ‘Love You Like’, ahead of her headline show in Melbourne on 21 July. Co-produced with industry heavyweight Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), the track draws unlikely inspiration from an Amy Winehouse biopic, serving as a relatable heartbreak anthem for anyone who has fallen hard for the wrong one.

The result is a slow-burn bloom of pulsing synths, sharp pop sensibilities and strong, yet contemplative vocals that will disarm you right from the opening hook.

Speaking on the backstory of the song SANNIA said, “I was watching the Amy (2015) film on Netflix and found myself really struck by the story of her ex checking her out of rehab to get high together – I thought about it for days afterwards, how alone she must’ve felt to only feel whole with a person that was doing irreparable damage, and how isolated she must’ve felt to walk away from help for the belonging she felt with him.

For me her addiction to her enabler was more heartbreaking than her other dependencies and I think a lot of people have experienced at least one relationship like that. I’ve definitely been there a few times which is probably why it resonated so deeply with me. I wrote the song and put together the first demo in my bedroom during the second Melbourne lockdown and finished it off with Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy) in January.”

SANNIA’S 2018 arrival with her breathtaking debut single ‘Go And Get Over’ was described as a “watershed moment” by Beat Magazine and a “commanding debut” by triple j’s Bridget Hustwaite.

Her unique voice was quickly recognized, winning the nationwide Triple J Unearthed Competition to open for and sing with The Rubens on their Lo La Ru Tour.

Inspired by the authenticity of artists such as Mallrat and Olivia Rodrigo, SANNIA merges her near lifetime of classical music training, with a fiercely independent attitude. Supporting the likes of Tia Gostelow, Eliott, Kira Puru and Mia Wray, she has also earned advance praise for unreleased material, as a finalist in Nashville’s International Songwriting Competition out of 26,000 entries.

Having spent 2020 and early 2021 working alongside industry giants Andy Mak (Vera Blue), Ed Quinn (Sycco) and Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), SANNIA is armed to release an avalanche of music in 2021; in anticipation of her debut EP.
