Bursting with an organic sound that is a uniquely feminine blend of reggae, roots, soul and acoustic flavours, SARITAH (sa-REE-ta) is on a worldwide musical mission to uplift, inspire and activate healing.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Perth, Australia, Saritah calls the world home. Inspired by the beauty of the planet we live on, as well as the overwhelming realities that face humanity on a day-to-day basis, her songs are celebrations, revelations, invocations, affirmations.
Her new album GIFTS was released on October 11, 2024.
Featuring collaborations with producers in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California, Portland, Oregon as well as Finland, Spain, France, Nigeria and Australia, GIFTS is a vibrant, fresh collection of songs to lift up our hearts and minds.
Lyrically, the album journeys on through themes of finding peace, joy, giving thanks for life, slowing down, having faith and cultivating a sense of self-trust along the way.
GIFTS is a colourful body of work that will brighten your day, leaving you feeling encouraged, more hopeful, and less alone.
“A soulful and joyous triumph. I can hear the sun shining through my speakers.”
-Alex Kortt, The A&R Department
