Sara Kendall is a Massachusetts born, Brooklyn based dark-pop songwriter whose haunting and introspective lyrics explore themes of empowerment and self preservation. Taking inspiration from both female artists and novels, Kendall’s lyrics are reflective of her life experience and delivered with a powerful voice that Dancing Astronaut described as a “brooding and gritty, sparse and operatic”. Following her debut EP Delicate, her forthcoming EP Comply tackles the concept of taking ownership of one’s own perception in an emboldened tone backed by sparse but often heavy and cinematic production.
Beyond her own music, Kendall’s artistry and aesthetic can be seen in Vogue and other collaborations in the fashion world, as well as a featured vocalist on Mom + Pop artist CRNKN’s single “The Grip”. On the road, Kendall has opened for national touring acts Bayonne, Zealyn, and Eliot Sumner.
She has recently shared her new single “Daydream.” The 405 premiered the track with praise, stating, “Massachusetts-born but Brooklyn-based, Kendall has developed a reputation for her dark and foreboding brand of pop. Her lyrics often tilt toward the dark and the production is usually shaped to match. On the surface, ‘Daydream’ may seem like more of the same, but in actuality, the song has a life-affirming message at its core.” “Daydream” is out now on digital streaming platforms.
“Daydream” is about convincing someone that you should be together. It goes in a different direction than Kendall’s past releases, being much more lighthearted and chilled out. The track is out now on streaming platforms, and Sara Kendall will be performing locally in NYC while working on her next release.
