Sherayah releases new single “Pseudo Propheta”

Originally hailing from Modesto in California, newcomer Sherayah is an exciting voice in the alternative folk scene with her story-driven writing and highly original sound. Now based in Los Angeles, she’s begun to make an impact with her heartfelt songs which shine with a sense of wanderlust and nostalgia. What began as a personal escape from the everyday monotony of life has transformed into a compelling musical journey, one that invites listeners to dream, reflect and find comfort in her elegant musical output.

Sherayah’s music is a blend of country, indie folk and alternative pop, inspired by a diverse array of influences such as Lord Huron, Hozier, Brandi Carlile, Stephen Sanchez and Maggie Rogers. While the inspiration from these artists echo through her sound, Sherayah offers something thoroughly new. Her songs are dripping with a sense of deep longing and emotional complexity, allowing her to create a sound that is at once familiar and entirely unique.

Her musical vision has been brought to life with the help of renowned producers Mark Batstone and Justin Sinclair, who’ve previously worked with acts like Weezer, Scary Pockets and Ilsey. Together, they have crafted a sound that distils Sherayah’s storytelling and haunting melodies into a mesmeric and alluring experience.

First sharing her original sound in April with her debut single “Blue Moon,” her sophomore outing “Where the Flowers Don’t Grow” followed in June. Now she brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “Pseudo Propheta,” a piece which continues the unfolding tale of her musical journey, taking listeners into a darker, more mysterious space. This gritty folktale paints a vivid picture of ambition and its potential to distort and corrupt, wrapped in an otherworldly soundscape that presents a sense of foreboding.

Casting a hazy scene with the delicate stretch of wailing textures, the arrangement tumbles into place with the soft patter of drums and pulsing tones before Sherayah’s graceful voice glides in with the smokey touch of guitar strums. Wrapped in a moody aesthetic, the track jumps with grooving guitar riffs and gripping vocals, taking on a rock vibe with the fuzzy instrumentation and bluesy organ fashes.

With slick ebb and flow that sees the song bend from dreamy moments to bursts of folk rock, “Pseudo Propheta” delivers an enthralling listening experience from start to finish. Subtly anthemic and memorable throughout, it’s an spic showcase of Sherayah’s incredible musical universe as she continues to go from strength to strength on what’s sure to be her breakout year.
