Inspired by jazz harmony, soulful melodies, curiosity and a love of simple everyday natural beauty, Sascha Osborn is a songwriter and performer of reflective heartfelt songs. Blending her cocktail of influences, seamlessly dancing between the ‘folk’, ‘jazz’ and ‘retro-soul’ worlds, she utilises these flavours and colours to express narratives of relationships and evocations of life experience, love, loss, and hope.
I'm delighted to be sharing a new collection of new songs inspired by my love for folk, soul and jazz, featuring exciting arrangements and world class jazz musicians. It's been such a joy to work with such lovely talented people, connect through music and both explore and realise my visions for my songs.
Half Complete
A a reflective, imagery-led song about hindsight and the clarity that comes with distance. Moving through scenes of mountain rain, open fields and distant church bells, it traces an inward journey shaped by memory and perspective. At its core is the realisation that signs were always there, small gestures and meaningful details that went unnoticed and unheard. Only with distance does the absence come into focus.
Time
This song traces the journey from silence, inertia, and fear building to empowerment and renewal. It’s about breaking free from societal expectations and “shoulds and coulds,” finding the courage to speak out, break barriers and glass ceilings. A call to say “enough is enough” and reclaim courage, self-belief, purpose, and freedom.
HALF COMPLETE
Is a reflective, imagery-led song about hindsight and the clarity that comes with distance. Understated and grounded, the song explores missed signals and the delayed recognition of what truly mattered, often only after it’s gone.
I was deeply drawn to move to this song, to physically express in response to the song I had created with producer Patrick Wood. Video directed filmed and produced by Lizzy Platt. Filmed at Pixel Studios, London.
COULD IT BE YOU
The first single from my debut album, 'Looking Out And After' which received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Scotland, BBC Radio Suffolk and extremely positive acclaim.
Unusually for myself as a songwriter, the lyrics for 'Could It Be You' were written first, one lunch time sat on a bench overlooking the River Thames, inspired by the pocket book 'Lunch Poems' by Frank O'Hara. Thereafter I wrote the music, endeavouring to reflect the sense of uncertainty and hope that comes with new found love.
The video was filmed along the River Thames on a cold winter day, produced by Jason Frost.
