Like many others in the industry, we have come to expect big things from SAPPHIRE. Despite her young age, the talented British songstress has been hypnotising audiences for years now, rallying a global, passionate audience around her, both for her original material and her well-received cover performances (especially via YouTube). Championing a relatable, vulnerable songwriting ethos steeped in romantic allure, SAPPHIRE often writes about love, a feature that remains true today, with the gifted creative unveiling the evocative, cinematic effort ‘The Last Thing’.
We’d love to approach the single with a clear mind; let’s forget for a second about SAPPHIRE’s own upbringings and successful endeavours. Let’s analyse the track as an independent nugget of authenticity, and as an incredibly wondrous, heartwarming slice of mainstream poop goodness. If that’s the perspective, then SAPPHIRE has won on all fronts. ‘The Last Thing’ feels relatable, lovingly electrifying, and with a keen nostalgic flair. That’s the kind of track that plays when two lost lovers are about to reunite in your favourite movie; intense, yet elegant. What more could you wish for?
Sapphire’s vocals are – as always – up to the task. Showcasing her malleable, anthemic tone, the British riser seals the deal on a record that deserves global attention. Something tells us that it might just as well receive it. Delving deeper into ‘The Last Thing’, SAPPHIRE explains: “The Last Thing’ is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. It’s a Romeo-and-Juliet-style story, about knowing deep down that no matter what anyone says, you’ll always come back to that person. It’s intense, unapologetically raw, and one I’m VERY excited to play live.”
