"With a strong influence from Alicia Keys, the single has a rhythmic quality, but still allows plenty of room for a huge, soaring vocal and for lovers of the style, the performer’s presence will be instantly captivating... more than the typical R&B vibe – something that feels more interesting" ~ Real Gone
"Linds Sais weaves iconic sounds through adventurous and forward-thinking musical modernity. 'Glitter Cowgirl' is the sound of the future being created in real time" ~ The Big Takeover Magazine
Canadian pop starlet Linds Sais saddles up with her debut 'Glitter Cowgirl' EP, packing a sonic pistol that's ready to fire. With a voice that sparkles like a rhinestone and music that resonates with the depth of a drum beat, she explores the vibrant intersection of self-love, community, and social media.
Masterfully navigating the landscape and disillusionment of hookup culture, flirt technology and heartbreak cliffhangers, this Winnipeg-based artist has emerged as one of Canada's new artists to watch. Her captivating voice, compelling lyricism and cleverly crafted pop-meets-RnB melodies shine through in this exploration of how social media and dating apps influence our lives today. With fearless vulnerability, Linds Sais has a knack for finding noteworthy dynamics and hope in the everyday.
"My 'Glitter Cowgirl' EP really dives into relationships and self-perspective, especially with how social media influences everything today. From 'Golden Hour's take on the selfie trend, to 'Glitter Cowgirl' empowering women to put themselves first, to 'Two Hot Weeks of You's failed situationship, the EP reminds listeners to smile through the tough times and savor the good ones," says Linds Sais.
"It's a sonic journey with thick bass lines, and you'll hear some unexpected instrumentals like horns and EDM synths. Honestly, there's a song for every mood!"
Inspired by Lauryn Hill and Whitney Houston, and rooted in the soul-bearing intentionality of Alicia Keys and vocal fire of TLC, Linds Sais blends classic influence with a fresh sensibility that feels entirely her own. Her sound is silk-wrapped storytelling: smooth, vulnerable, and unexpectedly powerful when the emotion demands it.
'Glitter Cowgirl' is Linds Sais' sonic reflection of striving for grace in a world spun wild. Born from the stillness of the pandemic, it was then that Linds unleashed a backlog of heartfelt experiences, previously unarticulated. The result was a rush of songwriting, deeply intimate yet broadly resonant, with words and melodies that often struck like lightning in the midnight hour.
The title track 'Glitter Cowgirl' channels Gloria Gaynor in a disco anthem with pulsating synths and a defiant message of self-empowerment. While the video is a fun fashionable pink-laced exercise in role-playing, the lyrics explore a woman's enduring independence in the face of betrayal to ultimately thrive. 'Oxygen' offers a breath of fresh air, portraying a fleeting, stabilizing romance that provides respite from life's overwhelming challenges, all set to an R&B beat with exhilarating EDM drops.
'2 Hot Weeks of You' is a sizzling ballad about today’s dating culture and the use of modern apps, while 'Golden Hour' touches on another facet of modern-day Insta culture, channeling the glow of radiant selfies into a playful, feel-good anthem. 'As I Am' delves into the captivating blindness of deep love, showcasing Linds Sais' versatile bluesy vocals. Finally, 'My DMs' humorously portrays the rollercoaster of social media dating, complete with an energetic tempo change to dance away disappointment.
As of August 1, the 'Glitter Cowgirl' EP is available from fine music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.
