AN EQUAL SPACE IN JAZZ
THE EP A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN WAS RELEASED IN 2022 BUT WAS INITIATED IN 2019 AS SARA, JOINED BY HER FRIENDS AUGUST BJÖRN AND DANIEL ANDERSSON, EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO RECONCILE HER IDENTITY AS BOTH A SINGER AND MUSICIAN. AFTER YEARS OF GRAPPLING WITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE JAZZ SCENE, FEELING BOUND BY SOCIAL AND MUSICAL EXPECTATIONS, SARA RESOLVED TO ESTABLISH A SANCTUARY WHERE SHE COULD FINALLY FIND A SPACE WHERE SHE WAS FREE FROM THE NORMS OF JAZZ. THE ARRANGEMENTS ON THE EP IS BY FELLOW MUSICIANS AUGUST BJÖRN AND DANIEL ANDERSSON RUNEVAD AND THE EP:S TITLE IS AN HOMMAGE TO THE LEGENDARY WORK BY VIRGINIA WOLF THAT AIMS TO CREATE EXACTLY THAT, AND FINALY ACHIEVING IT.
