Hailing from Birmingham in the UK, SAER is a talented artist who’s stunning falsetto vocals and melodies thread a fabric of pop, folk and electronica inspired music. As a singer-songwriter and producer, SAER’s musical output is deeply rooted in personal experiences and his influences, drawn from the likes of Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and The Beatles, inform an experimental fusion that sees him float across various genres and styles.
SAER’s musical adventure first flourished in a home adorned with instruments, setting the stage for a creative exploration that traverses electronic soundscapes and heartfelt songwriting. His ability to shift from one genre to another creates an intriguing and distinctive sound that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
Notably recognised for his performance on The Voice UK, where he soulfully interpreted Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times,” SAER has continued to go from strength to strength as an artist. Debuting with his first single “Shadows” in 2018, SAER has since released multiple EPs and singles, earning praise and securing extensive radio support.
In his latest release, “This Time of Year,” SAER delivers a Christmas single that distils the solitary echoes of the holiday season to capture the more reflective side of the holiday. Opened by warm piano notes as soft vocal flutters dance above, SAER’s dazzling lead voice hovers above the elegant arrangement.
Carrying moving lyricism via truly beautiful melodies, delivered with his trademark soaring falsetto, with “This Time of Year,” the artist crafts a heartwarming Christmas song full of meaningful writing and graceful performance. With blissful string tones, subtle plucks of bright guitar and the gentle taps of percussive shots, SAER sets up a timeless folk-infused seasonal song that’s enjoyable while speaking straight to your heart.
Serving up a moving tribute to the festive period experienced in the absence of a loved one, SAER poignantly captures the sudden realisation of facing Christmas alone. “This Time of Year” presents a wistful and emotionally-charged theme wrapped up in delightful seasonal sound, written, performed and produced in spectacular fashion by a brilliant artist who closes another successful year with a superb new single.
