SAADI’s single “Gotcha!” is a playful send-up of the concept of putting too much stake into articles of religious faith and the superstitious mindset that convinces some people they have more control over their world than they do. Utilizing minimal synth layers, even more minimal guitar riffs and
electronic percussion the songwriter brings a sense of the pristine and otherworldly which is at times reminiscent of a Talking Heads song in the use of polyrhythms and non-Western tonal palettes. It sets the perfect mood for discussing the absurdities of holding the purely mythical and odd stories as part of some eternal and universal truth. Fans of The Knife and Tune-Yards will appreciate SAADI’s masterful arrangement of layered moods and cultural reference points. Listen to “Gotcha!” on Spotify and follow SAADI at the links below. The artist’s new album Birds of Paradise released September 4, 2025 on limited edition vinyl, digital download and streaming.
