Blending twinkling keys and catching guitar lines, “Hollow Body” is a memorable new single from SAADI. The project of Boshra AlSaadi, a Syrian-American New Yorker living in Los Angeles, SAADI compels with a sound that bridges serene atmospherics and hooky immediacy. “Hollow Body describes the seductive pursuit of that which is unavailable,” SAADI explains. “I tried to conjure an image of Penelope weaving as she waits for Odysseus.”
“The initial inspiration was Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time but it soon took on a life of its own, especially after I added the Stratocaster guitar rhythm track,” SAADI continues. Radiant vocal hooks and compelling synth/guitar interplay shines throughout, particularly within the “jet plane,” hook that concludes the production with a satiating finality. “Hollow Body” was recorded and co-written with Chris Coady at Valis in Glendale, CA.
