SAGOBA, hailing from Dewitt, MI, crafts a sound that defies easy categorization. “Enrico Was Right” is a prime example of this eclectic approach, blending soul, funk, and rock into a vibrant, groove-heavy track. The song pulses with energy, led by a dreamy organ and a killer bassline, but it’s the vocals that steal the show—dynamic and versatile, showcasing an impressive range. There’s an unpredictability here, as the track shifts gears and even flirts with ballad-like moments.

“Touch the Sky” continues the genre-blurring exploration, with a cinematic sheen and layers of synths and organ that give the song a unique, 80s-inspired feel. There’s an infectious syncopation running through the track, creating bursts of energy that propel it forward. Once again, the vocal delivery is top-notch, pushing the song into even more engaging territory.

“Cheap Imitation” stands out as a personal favorite, dialing into a straight blues groove that’s both laid-back and intensely energetic. The bassline is a standout, and the addition of horns brings a rich texture to the track, making it feel both classic and fresh.

SAGOBA is an artist with an original sound, mixing genres with ease and delivering consistently compelling performances. These tracks are well worth your time.
