Tania Saedi has come a long way in the 11 years between the release of her first solo album, Exhale, in spring 2011, and her new album, TOKEN. This next album, her personal treasure, has revealed itself at its own pace. The daughter of an Iranian and an Austrian, SAEDI grew up in Vienna, and time has taught her that she can only work—and live—according to her own internal rhythm. She is a musician in body and soul; singing guides the direction of her entire life.
SAEDI has an intensity that is rare in pop music these days. In her own words: “I’m not interested in the lightness of pop. My writing deals with things that many prefer to ignore. Writing has been my escape since I was 11 years old. It’s how I process all my shit, how I find myself. But then, the finished songs are no longer about me, they are more universal, more familiar, like old friends.”
