Sasha Sloan isn’t afraid to show her insecurities anymore — and the result of her vulnerability is apparent within her latest EP Self Portrait. For many, Sasha’s introduction into their playlists has been from Spotify, a platform that she dominated in 2019 with 25 million streams with her song “Older.” Sasha’s standing as an artist has been directly linked to fans relating to her teen angsty ballads. Sasha, who has written for the likes of Charli XCX, Camilla Cabello, and Tinashe, movingly narrates the inner thoughts of her mind on top of the latest project’s pared-down but emotionally effective musical composition. The record’s simplistic sound allows for the 24-year-old’s quirky but sincere lyricism to shine through each track where she replays moments of social anxiety, stints of sadness, and the shallow silliness of Hollywood. “It wasn't totally intentional about making [the EP] something really personal — I think that's just how everything came out with the time in my life that I was experiencing,” Sasha tells Teen Vogue. “[The songs] kind of edge and flow with who I am — the fact that I don’t know how to perfectly accept myself, into growing up, and accepting my flaws and who I am. I think at the end of the day all of the songs on the EP represent different facets of who I am and that's why I ended up calling it Self Portrait.”
