About

Straying away from the usual rock sound she became famous for as the lead singer of The Superjesus, Sarah McLeod’s new EP 96% Love Song Book Part 1 is a softer, more gentle offering, revealing a classic side to her musicality that is set to draw people’s attention.  The EP is slated for an October 28 release, with a lead single “Scout’s Honour” released October 21. Sarah will step out on a National Tour to promote the new single and EP (dates and info below).

Sarah’s sentiment behind this release is none other than it is simply the sound of an era that is dear to her. A ‘tip of the hat’ to the 50’s and 60’s favorites that she grew up with.

“This style of music has always been my foundation, however in the 90's I pushed it very firmly aside in order to focus on my 'grunge' phase. I never confessed to anyone that my tastes were living in the past, but now I feel I have come full circle and it’s ok for me to just write what comes naturally.”

As a long time collaborator, this body of work is the first release that Sarah has written entirely on her own. Co-produced by her fellow band member Stu Hunter (Buffalo Tales, Tina Harrod, Leroy Lee, Martha Marlow)., and mastered by Grammy winning William Bowden (Gotye). This collection of classic sounding tracks once again shows Sarah’s incredible ability to diversify her music.

“As a songwriter, I feel that I have left no stone unturned. I find excitement in all kinds of styles – acoustic, rock, and EDM – they all have their place and they are all fun to write and perform. This classic style of writing though, comes the most naturally to me – not only to write, but also to listen to. I’m very happy that I’ve made this journey and have arrived safely back where I started but with more knowledge and confidence to execute it…. Just like in The Alchemist.”

Since 96% Love Songbook Part 1 is made up of mostly simple love songs, Sarah decided to include a song book with all the lyrics and simple chord changes so everyone can feel a part of the progression.

“This record is for all of us to enjoy, not just to play on your stereo….. whether this direction is relevant is not something I am concerning myself with, I love it and it makes me happy. I have enjoyed this writing/ recording process more than any musical experience to date.”


Sarah will premiere the lead track ‘Scouts Honour’ on Network Seven’s “The Morning Show” on Friday September 27th.
