Comment: Some songs excel at creating a ‘mood’, evoking strong emotions that are often tinged with melancholy or introspection. They set up a pensive atmosphere perfect for those rainy days or quiet nights in, and that’s exactly the case with ‘Halloweekend’ by Sarah Gargano. This talented singer-songwriter has a knack for inward-looking lyrics that resonate deeply.

Born and raised in New York City but now based in Nashville, the 26-year-old has been writing music since she was 15, and released her first EP in 2018. For ‘Halloweekend’, which came out last Friday, she drew inspiration from Phoebe Bridgers, a master of moody songs, both as a solo artist and through her work with boygenius. Sarah’s ability to craft similarly evocative and emotional music is evidence that, as a musician, she’s headed in the right direction.

Sarah Gargano is planning to make a music video too. While we wait for it, please enjoy her standout track here.
