Sariah, a singer from a small suburb outside New York City, has released her new single, “Compare”, after the success of “WYD (What You Doing)”. Sariah’s “Compare” is a song that captures the frustration of being in a relationship where nothing is balanced, and where giving more only makes you feel less, an emotional and honest song about those toxic relationships that make you doubt yourself and feel inadequate.
The track is based on Sariah’s personal experience. She says, “At the time of recording “Compare”, I had just ended a long ‘relationship’ and I put quotes because looking back now I can see it was very one-sided.” She decided to use music as a way to cope with what she was going through, but also to gain the strength to move on.
Sariah discovered her smooth and sultry vocals at a very young age and grew up admiring singers who are powerful and confident, such as Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, and Adele. Inspired by them, Sariah has carved her musical path and become the artist she is today. Her talents go beyond her beautiful voice; she also has the ability to transform complex emotions into lyrics that connect with her audience. She draws from the highs and lows of her own life and refines them in the studio until they become the stunning pieces she delivers.
The lyrics for “Compare” may seem sad at first, but they are actually full of energy and confidence. They have a confrontational tone that speaks directly to the person who did not appreciate her and reveals everything she endured. She admits in the first verse how hard she tried and how her efforts were dismissed and ignored repeatedly. In the second verse she expresses how it made her feel, judged and small. One particular line that she finds impactful and relatable is “You take the fun out of love you made me hate it.” However, despite this vulnerability, Sariah does not show herself as weak. She always reminds us that even though it was a terrible experience, she knows she deserves better.
The music consists of three main elements: an introductory soulful acoustic guitar riff that creates a touching atmosphere, followed by bass-heavy hip-hop beats that set the pace of the song and add a touch of modern flair. The final element is Sariah’s sweet and melodic vocals that contrast with the energetic beats and create a dynamic and captivating sound.
“Compare” is a remarkable song that resonates with many people who have struggled with love and self-esteem. It is a reminder that we are all unique and worthy and we have to stand up for our self-worth even when others don’t see it or make us question it. Sariah’s talent for crafting relatable songs continues to solidify her place in the music industry as a powerhouse performer with endless potential.
