I am someone who has spent my life comparing myself to other people. Whether it’s in the way I act, how I dress, or even how I view my body. I always wanted to be like the popular girls, and this latest single by Sarah Klang displays that feeling perfectly. “Other Girls” is the latest single by the musician, and is about the emotions you feel when going through puberty. I can just feel the emotion that Klang poured into this song, especially its lyrics. I could relate to every one, and it made me feel seen in a way that most music hasn’t before. While I still struggle with my image and how I present myself to others, it’s nice to know there’s a song out there that makes me feel understood.
Aside from the incredible lyrics, “Other Girls” has some simple, yet impactful, production behind it. The song opens with the sound of crickets, and slowly leads into the first lyric. I can mainly hear the drums, but as she wraps up the chorus, the music turns into something that makes me feel like I’m floating through space. I’m obsessed with it, and I genuinely couldn’t get enough. I think if Klang was to ever consider making an acoustic version of this song, a cello would make this even more powerful. I also want to give a quick shout-out to Klang’s voice. It’s incredibly unique, and like nothing I’ve heard before. This song is a lot like other folk songs I’ve heard, and I think Klang has the perfect voice for the genre.
