New single ‘Pretty Traumatized’ from dark alt-pop artist Sadye
"Pretty Traumatized" is inspired by her real life recovery story of battling childhood cancer. She confides, "Pretty Traumatized is my origin story. This song is at the root of my escapism approach to music. It's the first record I've written about everything I've been through medically and it helped me establish my superpower of creating these fantasies to save myself. It’s horror masked with humor. It’s the essence of me.”
Inspired by her intense struggle with cancer, discovering self-worth, and dealing with toxic relationships, her lyrics are steeped in a sarcastic form of catharsis as she learns to love her literal, and figurative, scars; a theme beautifully juxtaposed by catchy, modern melodies and edgy pop production. Her music has received adds to coveted Spotify playlists including Obsessed, IT"S A BOP!, New Pop Picks, Night Pop and more as well as Apple's New in Alternative, Amazon's Breakthrough Pop, Girl Squad and Tidal's Future Sounds.

Sadye transcends the limits of mainstream pop, challenging listeners and breathing new life into the genre with otherworldly mystique and uncompromising vision. From humble beginnings as a small town singer/songwriter, Sadye writes with depth and heart, often taking on unexpectedly dark and heavy themes. Inspired by her intense struggle with cancer, dealing with toxic relationships, and finally discovering her self-worth, her lyrics are steeped in a sarcastic form of catharsis as she learns to love her literal, and figurative, scars; a theme beautifully juxtaposed by catchy, modern melodies and edgy pop production, appealing to fans of Kim Petras and Charli XCX to Nine Inch Nails and The Weeknd.
Boasting hundreds of thousands of streams, TV placements, and playlist covers, Sadye leans into her inconceivable “industry plant” aesthetic, challenging conventional notions of stardom, prompting listeners to question the essence of celebrity. Intrigued by emerging technology, she boldly ventures into the web3 space, seamlessly bringing her cult into the future with exclusive digital rewards, proof of her commitment to standing out in a rapidly evolving music landscape.

The track is a bouncy, nostalgic, dark-pop anthem. Featuring airy keys punctuated by 80's synth stabs and driving 808's, Sadye delivers her signature tongue-in-cheek lyrics inspired by her real life story of recovery, reminding us that we can embrace our traumas and still look damn good doing it.
