Sarah Klang has a “Mind” of her own. While most young musicians try to break through the clutter, songs like this seem to pierce through a void. Its sleepy, vintage soundscape melts under the croak of her voice, which during live performances, reaches hair-raising wails. Drenched in tattoos and prone to comedic relief, the Swedish singer-songwriter is all fun and games offstage. But on it, she sounds as if she’s crying into the mic, admitting to being devastated by the human condition and what it means to long for others. You feel like you’ve heard the song before, just as much as you hope to hear it again. You remember what it feels like to have the blues.
