Sahara Grim is a visionary artist, musician and composer. She makes music that is as innovative as it is emotional, holding an eclectic background in bossa nova, classic rock, jazz and Indian classical music. Sahara has recently established a new artistic direction, joining minds with producer & artist Luke Temple in the creation of her upcoming debut album Fable (due out in 2025).
Active in the underground LA music scene since 2016, Sahara has collaborated with local artists Nailah Hunter and Lionmilk to play on her forthcoming album and has shared bills with The Marías, Charlotte Day Wilson, and Léa Sen among others. Sahara’s ethnic roots in India and Japan are seamlessly interwoven within her musical path, from studying sitar at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, where she received a degree in World Music & Jazz, to performing in venues across Japan.
Today Glide is excited to offer an exclusive premiere of Sahara’s new single “Time Wanderer” along with its accompanying music video. Hitting out of the gate with a moody, chilled out beat, the song puts Sahara’s dreamy and delightfully mysterious vocals on full display. There is a hypnotic, enticing quality to this song, which marries indie pop cool with a worldly quality. There is a simple groove that lends itself to the seductive vocals that seem to flow like a river meandering elegantly through a forest. There is also the bridge in the song, which contains a kind of funky chillwave instrumental breakdown that is not to be missed. The fantastical visuals of the music video also serve as a perfect complement to this strangely beautiful tune. If “Time Wanderer” is any indication of what we can expect from Sahara’s upcoming album, then she is surely going to grab some well-deserved attention in 2025.
Sahara shares, “Time Wanderer is a playful exploration that speaks to overcoming past difficulties and giving into joy, trusting the timing of all that is unfolding when we move at our own pace. The video is a marriage between the hypnotic, layered elements prevalent in both the sonic and visual worlds. With a series of long takes, the camera follows my movement through a sequence of otherworldly nature locations, blurring the line between fantasy and reality. The experimental analog film techniques used are intended to ignite a sense of simplicity, surrealism, nature, and unparalleled magic.”
