Shalom - "Happenstance" from the 2023 album Sublimation on Saddle Creek.

Brooklyn-based, South Africa-raised artist\\xa0Shalom had been playing bass in bands while in\\xa0New Brunswick for college, and working on home-recorded solo songs on the side, when she was discovered by\\xa0producer Ryan Hemsworth. He invited her to contribute to his collaborative project\\xa0Quarter-Life Crisis, which led to her being signed with Saddle Creek Records, who released her debut album\\xa0Sublimation\\xa0earlier this year.\\xa0

On today\'s Song of the Day, the\\xa0Brooklyn-based, South Africa-raised artist sings of her "need to evaporate and receive validation at the same time," displaying a raw vulnerability against a dancey beat.\\xa0\\xa0

You can see my bones on this record. I\'m okay with it though, because I\\u2019ve got to get it out.\\u201d \\xa0
