Sandrayati - Safe Ground

 

Folk singer-songwriter unleashes long-awaited debut album

"I was kind of lost, but I had to learn to sing these songs just for me this time. I needed that safety and community before and now I was only able to hold that space in the studio. So I felt I was finally able to sing softly and sing for myself in a moment." — Sandrayati Fay

Sandrayati Fay welcomes you into her beautiful world with her debut album, Safe Ground. Throughout 10 tracks, the artist offers a profound and mesmerizing exploration of identity, love and courage.

Inspired by the longing to define home, Sandrayati weaves many worlds into this body of work. As an individual who's always felt she "belongs to many places," 2020's lockdowns left Sandrayati feeling so far from a home that she could not return to. In this time, Sandrayati formed the belief that life's safe places sometimes need to be deliberately created and nurtured — instead of expected.

Produced by Grammy-nominated composer Ólafur Arnalds, this record became the ultimate safe space for Sandrayati, irrelevant of her pin on the map. Describing the writing and recording experience as a personal "landing," Sandrayati discovered a mature voice in this enthralling new landscape. Eventually reaching out to find many awaiting hands of a new community, she hopes to offer a similar comfort for those lost souls reinventing their idea of home.
