SAPPHIRE emerges as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry with her latest venture — “Test Drive” EP. Breaking free from the tumultuous waves of online negativity, SAPPHIRE reclaims her narrative, channeling her emotions into a five-track masterpiece that not only showcases her vocal prowess but also serves as a testament to her unyielding spirit.
SAPPHIRE’s musical journey takes a poignant turn with this EP. After weathering the storm of online hate in 2022, SAPPHIRE found solace in the studio, where creativity became her sanctuary. The result is an EP that stands as a testament to her resilience and determination to rise above adversity.
“I started writing this EP last year after experiencing one of the hardest moments of my life. I knew that the only way I could heal was by creating more music and testing out all sorts of different sounds… Damn, it made me so happy.”
Diving headfirst into experimentation, SAPPHIRE, alongside her collaborators, crafted an EP that pulsates with energy and innovation. Tracks like the explosive “corvette” and the dance-worthy “crisis” emerged, each carrying a distinct sonic identity. Through this musical exploration, SAPPHIRE discovered a newfound confidence, a sense of self that had been temporarily obscured by the shadows of negativity.
“The more I did this, the more I found that certain sounds were sticking and starting to feel right to me. I started to feel more confident in myself again after feeling so lost for so long. And by the time Spring 2023 rolled around, I had an EP.”
The EP’s focus track, “wasting my time” encapsulates SAPPHIRE’s metamorphosis into an empowered artist unburdened by the opinions of others. The punchy indie-pop track not only showcases SAPPHIRE’s impressive vocal range but also serves as a bold declaration of her newfound strength and independence.
The EP is a journey through emotions, featuring tracks like “dangerously” and “oxygen” that delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. “dangerously” explores the risks of falling for someone who doesn’t appreciate the relationship, while “oxygen” unravels the complexities of a controlling relationship, urging listeners to break free from fear and embrace their potential.
For SAPPHIRE, “test drive” is a symbolic journey of self-discovery and empowerment. As she aptly puts it, the experience of writing the EP felt like a test drive — a chance to explore different sounds, emotions, and facets of her identity.
