Sabrina Claudio: Influences

Sabrina Claudio is of the “less is more” school of balladry, crafting weightless, sophisticated R&B that drifts in jazzy directions and feels like stretching out on silk sheets. Her cool, sultry voice carries hints of neo-soul, nodding to Jill Scott’s come-hither poetry and Floetry’s honeyed downtempo. And her dreamy textures draw from soft, swooning electro-pop: Think Lykke Li’s romantic bops or M83’s stadium shoegaze.
