Sarah Miles’ Hear Me Out Released

SINGER-SONGWRITER SARAH MILES RELEASES NEW EP “HEAR ME OUT” OUT TODAY

Award winning, pop, NYC singer-songwriter, Sarah Miles has released her third album, “Hear Me Out”, today. This time around, her fans helped fund the project through a Kickstarter campaign. After writing a song a week over the last year, and touring the country playing the new material, she is ready for the world to ‘hear her out’. Sarah’s song, “Something About You” has been featured on NBC’s, The Voice, and she’s toured with acclaimed singer-songwriters such as Sister Hazel, Tyler Hilton, Teddy Geiger, Tony Lucca, Ingram Hill, Matt Duke, Jesse Ruben, and Pat McGee.

Miles met with her producer, Brian T. Murphy a few months before she recorded the album. “We were doing a lot of writing together initially and through this experience I knew right away that he was the one to produce the album. Something just clicked with Brian,” says Sarah. I could tell that he got my sound, and I loved the way he played the piano; with such feeling. When we played together in sessions, everything sounded the way I wanted my music to be heard. Brain introduced me to some talented musicians that ended up playing on the album. The instrumentals sound so perfect with my melodies, I’m just thrilled. He really nailed it.

Music and songwriting is Sarah’s passion but it is also one of the hardest career paths for any one to take. Based on the odds, not many people are able to make a healthy living making music. “When I sing, I don’t want to sing, if there’s no one there to hear…hear me out, it’s all about the hours and hours I spend writing and performing, where I am just not sure enough people are going to hear my music as an independent artist,” says Sarah. “As if I’m possibly writing for no one, which is a depressing thought. I also spill my guts in the song, Rigid Frame. It’s about a desperate sort of heartbreak; “If you don’t love me anymore, If I can’t give you what you’re looking for, I can pick it up, pick it up, pick it up again.” I sing and write about real stuff in my life and my hope is that my fans and hopefully new fans will connect to the lyrics and melodies.
