Sarah has that certain rare mass appeal. She first stepped into the spotlight as the front woman of The Superjesus – a band who rose to fame after three successful albums and in the process winning multi awards including 3 ARIA’s, and a huge dedicated fan-base along the way.
Sarah’s final single from Beauty Was A Tiger, He Doesn’t Love You caught the attention of hot Sydney DJ / Producer, Hook n Sling. The result was a remix that fast became a smash hit in the clubs and radio and leapt to the #1 spot on the ARIA Charts. Signed to Renaissance UK, the Hook n Sling mixes of He Doesn’t Love You are the highest selling release for the label for 2006-2007.
In mid 2007, Sarah jetted off across the globe to Jimmy Douglass (Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Missy Elliot) studio in Miami, The Spot, where they were joined by Grammy nominee, cult hip hop guru ill Factor (Roisin Murphy, Ginuwine, MatisYahu). Ill Factor and Sarah discovered they had a unique musical chemistry, and ill was instrumental in nurturing and drawing out a side to Sarah’s compositions.
With the mixes finished the record has her distinctive gutsy pop rock vibe mixed with the genius overtones of Jimmy’s globally respected production techniques and iLL’s edgy driving beats and is no doubt her finest work to date.
“We knew we were on the right track when everyone’s head would not stop rocking to the music!†ill Factor and Jimmy Douglass.
“I am so proud of this record. The experience was an extraordinary journey with these incredibly creative people who took me into their little family. I feel so completely humbled and grateful to have been given the opportunity†Sarah McLeod.
