Sarah Jaffe
(Dylan Hollingsworth)
Texas singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe first gained attention with her acclaimed 2010 debut album Suburban Nature, a work mostly comprising acoustic guitar-driven songs she wrote while still in high school.
Her follow-up to the record -- last September’s The Way Sound Leaves A Room CD/DVD — featured covers of songs by rapper Drake and the indie band Cold War Kids, footage of Jaffe in the studio and an overall sentiment that the Denton native had graduated to a wider sonic palette and influences. Jaffe’s sophomore full-length, The Body Wins, which is scheduled to be released in early April, is said to continue to illustrate that move past her folk-pop roots.
Download Jaffe's gauzy cover of the Cold War Kids’ tune “Louder Than Ever” above, and below, watch Jaffe perform her 2010 breakthrough single “Clementine.”
