While we wait for her new EP, _Sugar Coated,_ coming out on September 6th, Saya shares with us a third single from the EP: _The Moon,_ accompanied by a celestial Zhamak Fullad directed music video. With this new single the 23-year-old girl from Toronto explores the ideas of peace, freedom and moving forward. _"I wrote ‘The Moon’ in 2016 during a big writing trip in London"_ Saya says of the track. _"In the song I’m riding my own wave of happiness and freedom, on my own time, and in my own world. Moments of peace only come once and a while for me so I’m happy I could translate that into a song."_
"_Sugarcoated_ is a really special body of work for me. It’s a concept EP – There are 7 songs on the project and each one connects to the “stages of grief”. I structured the body of work to portray the rise and fall of myself and ego – and the relationship I had been in at the time. This is my first time releasing music that is really vulnerable. Though I speak of loss, grief and self-sabotage I wanted to keep a constant temper of empowerment throughout the project." -Saya
_Sugar Coated_ is set to release on September 6th.
